Kingston upon Thames Council is extending its adult carer support contract and increasing funding due to rising demand for services.
Kingston upon Thames Council is extending its adult carer support contract until March 2028, with an increased price to manage rising demand for assessments and reviews. The People Committee approved this extension and uplift in September 2025, after the provider exceeded its annual target for assessments and reviews by 81% in 2024/25.
The council's decision comes as it recognises the increasing need for carer services, ensuring continued support for unpaid carers. No further council meetings are currently scheduled to discuss adult carer support, which includes services like assessments, reviews, and relief breaks for individuals providing unpaid care.
