WARRINGTON’S Wired adult and young carers service opened its doors for a drop-in session – and lots of carers called to find out about the local support available.
“Having the right information at the right time can make a huge difference when you are looking after someone” was the message.
The borough council is encouraging carers to get in touch if they want information or support.
Cllr Pat Wright, the council’s lead member for health, wellbeing and adult services, said: “I always enjoy visiting the centre and just having a good catch up and cup of tea with our local carers.
“Every year more than two million people become carers yet many don’t
identify themselves as carers and miss out on support. I want people to know that the adult and young carers service is there and can offer, so much help so please get in touch if you want support or just someone to talk to.”
