Online Carers Wellbeing Programme
Please book your place by clicking here.
We can support young and adult Carers who either live in Cheshire East, care for a Cheshire East resident or are registered with a GP in East or South Cheshire.
(If you would like the Zoom meeting links in the above bulletin to be active then please open in this new window).
On page 4 of the Bulletin you will see that we have a new venue in NANTWICH for COFFEE AND CHAT, every 4th Wednesday of the month, 10:30 – 12:30 in the cafe at Mill House on Queens Drive, Nantwich, CW5 5BX……
……a chance for a face-to-face informal catch up with other carers and Cheshire East Carers Hub staff. This is open to all.
Please note: “If you would like to attend any of the coffee and chats please let us know in advance. We need to ensure we arrange enough places and that we are adhering to Covid-19 government guidelines (if applicable) and be able to get in touch with you if arrangements have to change.”
The Hub exists to ensure that Carers of all ages have access to information, advice and a wide range of support services. These support services are designed to help Carers continue in their caring role for as long as they choose and to reduce the impact the caring role can have on a Carers own health and wellbeing.
Support can include:
Anyone who thinks they are a carer can register with the Carers Hub by calling 0300 303 0208, emailing enquiries@cheshireeastcarershub.co.uk or by visiting cheshireeastcarershub.co.uk.
Our Young Carers Practitioners are Cara and Cathryn.
Please make sure you click on page 2 of the leaflet above for full details.
Audlem Carers Support Group is open to anyone who provides care support to family members, friends or neighbours.
Coffee Mornings are currently held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month from 10am to 12 noon in the Thornton Room in Audlem Public Hall Annexe.
This is a ‘drop-in’ arrangement where carers on our register can enjoy coffee, chat, advice and friendly confidential mutual support.
We also hold a Zoom meeting for Carers on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month between 10am and 12 noon. Any of our registered carers can participate, and it is particularly useful for carers who are unable to attend ‘live’ meetings for whatever reason. It’s a ‘bring your own coffee/tea’ occasion as we haven’t discovered how to transmit refreshments via the internet. Yet.

We provide information, advice and support to unpaid carers.
A carer is someone of any age who provides unpaid support to family or friends who could not manage without this help. This could be caring for a relative, partner or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental health or substance misuse problems.
Carers may even be juggling paid work with their unpaid caring responsibilities at home. The term carer should not be confused with a care worker, or care assistant, who receives payment for looking after someone.
Carers have different needs and Cheshire & Warrington Carers Trust can assist you in information regarding health issues, entitlements, mobility, grants for holidays, equipment and support. We also offer a wide range of activities, training and events for Carers throughout the year across Cheshire.
Our Helpline is Available Monday – Friday
