Message from Pam
Hello,
I’m Pam, the Chief Executive here at Enfield Carers Centre. I grew up and live in Enfield, so I know the borough well.
Our charity’s main aim is to improve the lives of family and informal Carers in Enfield by providing easily accessible advice, information, training, support, breaks and counselling.
We have a sizeable, experienced and dedicated team here to do that – in person, on the phone and here on the website.
Please feel free to look around and join our nearly 8,000 registered Carers by signing up here.
You can take comfort from knowing that, as a charity, we are not profit-driven. Whatever support you are looking for, we are here for you.
Pamela Burke, CEO
CARER
Am I a Carer?
People often confuse the term “Carer” with “care worker”.
Here at Enfield Carers Centre, we use the term “Carer” as someone of any age who provides unpaid support to family, a partner or close friend who could not manage without help. This could be because of illness, frailty, disability, mental ill health or substance misuse problems.
See some examples and read five Carers’ own stories.
TESTIMONIAL
Carers’ voices about ECC support
ECC spoke to me in language I could understand and explained everything clearly. It made me appreciate that I am not alone and only a call away from a listening ear.
It’s good to know one can reach out when necessary. It is good to also know one is not alone with these problems. It therefore makes one more relaxed.

INTRO VIDEO
Meet the team and find out what they do
Watch the team introduce themselves and the services they offer – in their own words.
As Danny (who runs the Care and Support & Advice services) explains in the video: “The most important thing to me is that if any Carer has a question about the caring role, or concerns, that we can try and find the solutions or give them the options that they have. We hope that when they leave here they are better informed than when they come in.”
Listen to the video to hear more from the staff at the centre.
