About Trafford Carers Centre

Trafford Carers Centre is a not-for-profit independent, voluntary organisation. We are a limited company by guarantee (no. 4695523) and a registered charity (no. 1102075). Our services are all free and everything you tell us will be kept in confidence. We are here to help all carers and former carers living in Trafford.


 

Trafford Carers Centre was established in 1996 in order to provide a support for informal carers living in Trafford.

The Centre is funded mainly by Trafford Council and NHS Trafford.

Trafford Carers Centre aims to support carers to recognise their own needs, achieve their aspirations, and to ensure they are fully understood, valued and supported in their chosen caring role. We aim to:

  • provide information, advice and support to all carers, former carers and those working with and for carers to improve carers' physical, psychological and social lives.
     
  • enable carers and former carers to have an independent voice to positively and effectively influence the development of relevant local services.
     
  • promote any charitable purposes for the benefit of carers, former carers and those working with and for carers and, in particular, the advancement of education and furtherance of health and the relief of poverty, distress and sickness.
