2  Last week we had Jayshere Joshi from Harrow Mencap who gave detailed idea of what services they can offer.

She requested all those in need of help of a Carer or even if they  are a Carer and need help, to Register with mencap, Harrow.

It was made clear that such Registrations in any and all need from Council/s need to be registered so the subject can be raised at various meetings within the Council

Carer related form for Registration is attached herewith or can be collected from our Secretary Jayantbhai Doshi.
If you are looking after someone in the family (even for a few hours) then we strongly advise you to register. As a community we should register and take possible advantages by doing so.
