Carers’ Drop-In Session: A Platform for Support and Engagement

On 02 April, Apasen hosted a successful Carers’ Drop-In Session, providing an invaluable opportunity for carers to share their experiences, concerns, and suggestions in an open and supportive environment. The event, which took place as part of Apasen’s ongoing commitment to carer support, was attended by several key members of the organisation, including Chief Executive Mahmud Hasan MBE.

One of the highlights of the session was the Carers’ Tea Session with Managers, where carers had the opportunity to directly engage with Apasen’s Home and Community Services (HCS) leadership team. Mahmud Hasan MBE took the time to listen attentively to carers’ issues, ensuring that their voices were heard at the highest level. The interactive discussion allowed carers to share their perspectives on challenges they face and how Apasen can continue to support them effectively.

Mahmud Hasan MBE reflected on Apasen’s journey, stating, “For over 40 years, Apasen has remained persistent in its mission to serve and uplift the community. Our journey has been one of resilience, growth, and firm dedication. No negativity will deter us from our quest to achieve our aims and objectives. We will continue to provide essential support, empower carers, and ensure that our services reach those who need them the most.”

Key HCS members of staff present at the event included Munira Parvin, Project Manager for Home & Community Services, Rema Ali, Trainee Project Manager for Home & Community Services (LBTH), Mark Foulds, Chief Operating Officer, and Ather Khan, HR Manager. Their active participation in the session demonstrated Apasen’s dedication to enhancing services and welfare support for carers.

The Drop-In Session will continue until April 3rd, offering more carers the chance to engage with the organisation and access the support they need. Apasen remains devoted in its mission to empower and uplift carers, recognising the crucial role they play in the community.
