We aim to support adult carers to recognise their own needs, have their voices heard, help with their physical and mental wellbeing and ensure they are fully understood, valued and supported in their caring role.

There are an estimated 36000 people in Wigan supporting someone living with an illness or disability or a mental health need. This is often done out of love or friendship and they do not get paid.

Wigan and Leigh Carers Centre works closely with Wigan and Leigh Young Carers to ensure that young carers and their families are supported. Visit the Wigan and Leigh Young Carers website to see what services are available.
