We are working with the following organisations to implement the strategy to make lives better for carers in Merton:
- Local carers
- South West London Integrated Care Board
- primary care networks,
- South West London and St George’s Mental Health Trust
- Carers First
- Merton Mencap

The Merton Health and Wellbeing Board which is made up of senior leaders in social care, public health, the NHS and voluntary sector, approved the strategy in November 2020 and work is well underway to deliver priority targets set out in the five-year plan. The work includes improving support for young carers.
