Welcome to the CARIS Islington Website
Closure of CARIS Islington
CARIS Islington has been facing financial difficulties and it is with a very heavy heart that the Board of Trustees has taken the extremely difficult decision to wind CARIS operations down. We are very sorry that this hugely important and valued service is having to close and we thank the community of Islington for its support throughout the last 25 years. If you have any questions please contact Nick Hopkins (Chair of Trustees) nickh@carisislington.org who can answer any questions.
