Are You A Carer?

Do you look after a family member or friend who couldn’t manage without your support? Perhaps they have a long-term illness, disability, mental health condition, or issues related to ageing.

Whether you provide care for a few hours a week or around the clock, your role is invaluable. But who’s looking after you?

Are You A Young Carer?

You might be looking after a parent, sibling, or relative who needs extra support. If you help at home in ways others your age don’t, you’re not alone – we’re here for you.

If you support someone living in Warrington, Warrington Carers’ Hub, and our dedicated service for young carers is here for you.

Who Is A Carer?

A carer is someone who provides unpaid support to a loved one who would struggle without them. This could be helping with everyday tasks, providing emotional support, or managing medication and appointments.

Many carers don’t even realise they are carers – they just see it as ‘helping out’ or ‘doing what family does.’ But your role is important, and you deserve support too.

Get In Touch

We’re here to help. If you’d like to find out more about the support available to you, contact us today.

You are not alone. Warrington Carers’ Hub is here to support you every step of the way.

  • Thanks SO much for your help today, and for the sympathetic ear. Just what I needed!
    Carer
  • Aww you’re a diamond Debbie, thank you very much for all your help
    Carer
  • It has been great to come out together, get out of the house and meet other people and other carers. We need to get out more often together.
    Carer
  • First session attended – lovely to meet and talk to others in the same situation.
    Carer
  • When you first start caring, you’re lost, no one tells you what to do, where to go or whether you’re doing it right or wrong. But when I got in touch with yourselves everything started coming together, the support given helped me make sense of everything and pointed me in the right direction. Suddenly I wasn’t alone, and I knew exactly where I could turn to when I needed more help.
    Carer
  • I just wanted to say thanks ever so much for the call that day. It’s the first time someone’s asked how I am in a very long time, it certainly made a difference to my day, I didn’t really know how to answer it to be honest. I don’t get to speak to many people so that was a very welcome phone call. Just wanted to tell you that you brightened someone’s day that day and you do make a difference. Thanks again.
    Carer
  • I love these sessions with you, they make me feel good and happy. They are really fun.
    Young carer
  • She is really enjoying herself at groups, it is doing her the world of good to get that break away from home and make new friends. We are so so grateful for everything you do for her and what you offer is phenomenal, so thank you
