Welcome to the NEWCIS Denbighshire Website!

In Denbighshire there are approximately 11,000 adult Carers and 2,000 Young Carers. Many people are Carers although they may not recognise this as the task they undertake. That is because they are also relatives, neighbours or friends of the people for whom they care.

If you're a carer download our Information Pack for lots of useful information. And remember, this is YOUR pack, so we would appreciate any suggestions you have.
