We’ve created an Essex Carers Network WhatsApp Community Channel to help you stay up to date with our latest events, important information, and news — all sent straight to your mobile phone.

We understand that WhatsApp isn’t for everyone, but if you do use it, you might find our community channel a convenient way to keep informed.
We’ll continue to send out our monthly newsletters and update the latest news section on our website. You can also find us on social media, where we share updates from other service providers as well as key information from our team.

📣 What You’ll Receive
📆 Announcements about family carer support events
📍 Reminders for Space to Gather’s, carers craft groups, participation invites, our annual questionnaire-VoiceIt
📘 Helpful resources and local news
📲Only Essex Carers Network can post — no group chats, just useful info.
Please note that followers can react to posts, only admins can post, and any replies are sent privately to the admins rather than to the whole group.

🔐 Your Privacy Matters

✅ Your phone number is not visible to other members
