Welcome to Sefton Carers Centre

Definition of a Carer

A carer is someone who provides care or assistance at home for a relative, friend or neighbour who is frail or has a disability or long term illness.

Vision

The vision of the Carers Centre is of a society in which carers are properly supported by the government and community and thus enabled to perform their caring role as effectively as possible.

Mission

The aim of the Carers Centre is:

to provide information, advice and support to carers in ways which are sensitive to

their needs and wishes through the provision of a one-stop-shop

to encourage the development of local services that are sensitive to the needs and wishes of carers

to be involved and lead in the development of local, regional and nation policies that are sensitive to the needs of carers.
