"Thank you for your wonderful help and support. Your manner was gentle and reassuring and your professionalism was impeccable. Mum and I have welcomed you into our lives."

Welcome to the Trafford Carers Centre Website

A Carer is someone who, without payment, provides help and support to a friend, neighbour or relative who could not manage otherwise because of frailty, illness or disability.

Very often people do not recognise themselves as ''Carers''; they are family members, friends or neighbours who find themselves in a caring situation, sometimes suddenly, sometimes gradually, and simply get on with what needs to be done.

A Carer does not always live with the person being cared for, but their help may be essential to enable somebody to go on living independently.

It can be a help to know you are a Carer; it is a way of recognising that you are doing a very important job, which can be demanding physically and emotionally. It may be a help to know your work is recognised by others and there are some benefits and services available to help you in your role.

During your visit to our website we hope that you find the help or advice that you may need. If you need any further support, please contact us directly and we will do what we can to help.

Over 6 million people in Britain today are in a caring situation, there are approximately 22,000 Carers in the Trafford area. In the following pages you will find information about what help is available and how you can meet with other Carers to share your experiences.
