Warrington Carers Hub offers a single point of access for all carers living within the Warrington borough, including adult carers, young adult carers, and young carers.
The Hub exists to ensure that carers of all ages have access to information, advice and a wide range of support services which are designed to help carers continue in their caring role for as long as they choose, reducing the impact the caring role can have on their own health and wellbeing.

- Information, advice and guidance
- Support to access community and health and wellbeing services
- Support with contingency planning, including Carers Emergency Card
- Regular Newsletters detailing local Carers’ Coffee and Chat groups, activities, training courses and much more
- Information and support to take a break from the caring role
- A 24/7 Volunteer Carers Help and Talk (CHAT) Line
- Access to digital Carers Community Network
- Volunteering opportunities for carers, including volunteering for the CHAT Line and PenPals
- Support for former carers
- Carers’ Awareness Briefings to other professionals aiming to increase the number of hidden carers identified and supported in Warrington
For young carers we can also:
- Help carers and families think about what would make the difference

- Access support in school and college
- Help to take a break from their caring role
