Caring for Someone

We'd like to invite all Carers to join us at

Manchester Carers Event 
Thursday 21 June 2012,
10am to 2pm 
The Great Hall, Manchester Town Hall.

Find out more about what's happening.

There are over 6 million carers in the UK, which saves the economy £87 billion per year. In Manchester alone, 60,000 carers provide unpaid support for a relative, friend or neighbour - so isn't it time that carers received the support they need?

This information has been written to provide essential information for carers and those who work with carers in Manchester. It is a tool with which every carer should be equipped in order to find out about their rights, vital services, benefits and much more.

The information here has been co-ordinated by Manchester City Council and has been supported by the Carers Strategy Group.

The information in these pages can be downloaded as a pdf booklet.

You can also get spoken information about caring for someone in different languages.

We have also produced some printable leaflets in a range of languages for Carers.

You can also get information from the CarersDirect NHS website.

We also have downloadable posters and flyers promoting the work of the LGBT Carers Forum.
