Our free Newsletter is designed to make Carers aware of services available, events and drop-ins taking place. It provides Carers with the opportunity to share experiences but also keeps them informed of national issues affecting their caring role.

Our Centre newsletter is published 3 times per year. The current edition was published in April and the next edition will be September 2010. We welcome contributions from Carers, professionals and other local voluntary groups to be submitted at least one month before these dates.

Contact the Centre on 01606 828151 (Laura on Ext 5) if you would like to include something in the Cheshire West and Chester edition West Cheshire Newsletter May 2010 (2.1 MB) or Dawn on 01270 257331 for the Cheshire East edition East Cheshire Newsletter April 2010 (2.4 MB).

Factsheets for Carers

It is important for you as a Carer to have access to information advice and support when you need it. These sets of Factsheets for Carers provide you with basic information, so that you can link into benefits and services in your local area and receive as much support as possible.

Carers can request a set of Factsheets from the Centre by calling the Helpline on 0800 085 0307 or you can download your own set here. Some Factsheets refer to other sheets so its advisable to download the set as a whole.
These Factsheets will be updated regularly so please check for updates.
