WELCOME
The Cheshire West Carer Support Service was introduced in 2018 to bring together services and support for carers in Cheshire West and Chester. There were initially 7 organisations working collaboratively to deliver a range of support services. Since early 2024 there are now 3 organisations, Cheshire and Warrington Carers Trust, Making Space, and the Alzheimer's Society. Please click on the logos below to access each organisation's website.
Across the UK there are more than 5 million carers providing support to members of their family, friends, and neighbours, assisting them with a wide variety of daily tasks and support needs. This may include personal care, practical help, or emotional support.
Supporting carers is essential to ensure they can provide care effectively for the person they look after. In Cheshire West and Chester there are an estimated 40,000 carers. Collectively carers save £162 billion each year in the UK*, equating to almost £100 million in Cheshire West and Chester.
