Offering information, advice and support to Carers across Cheshire

Who is a Carer?

A carer is anyone who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who due to illness, disability, a mental health condition or an addiction cannot manage without their support.

Carers may even be juggling paid work with their unpaid caring responsibilities at home. The term carer should not be confused with a care worker, or care assistant, who receives payment for looking after someone. If the person you support also has a paid carer please think before contacting.

We are a small subsidiary of the big Carers Trust organisation so we only cover Cheshire and Warrington. So please help us along and follow us.

What can we do if you are a Carer?

If you are a Carer, Cheshire & Warrington Carers Trust may be able to help make things easier for you. We can deliver a wide range of local support services to meet the needs of Carers in our community. These range from support services catered to the Carer as well as the needs of the person you care for and the services provided by other organisations such as Crossroads Together and Opal

Carers have different needs and Cheshire & Warrington Carers Trust can assist you in information regarding health issues, entitlements, mobility, grants for holidays, equipment and support.  We also offer a wide range of activities, training and events for Carers throughout the year across Cheshire.
