The Princess Royal Trust Cheshire Carers Centre

Welcome to Cheshire Carers Centre Webpages. We provide information, advice and support to all unpaid Carers across Cheshire.

Part of The Princess Royal Trust for Carers network, our Centre offers a countywide service with offices in Northwich, Macclesfield, Chester and Crewe.

We work with statutory agencies and other voluntary organisations. Our funding comes from Cheshire County Council, the Big Lottery and other grant providers.

Cheshire’s Disabled Children’s Database Project works from the Centre (based Crewe). A Carers of Older People (COPP) project also runs from the Centre (based Crewe).

Our staff provide administrative support to the Cheshire Young Carers Advisory Group.

The opening hours of the Centre in Northwich are:

Monday: Groups/Courses

Tuesday: Drop-in 10.00 to 4.00

Wednesday:Appointments and Events only

Thursday: Appointments and Events only

The Helpline on 0800 085 0307 will be answered between 10.00 and 4.00 from Monday to Friday - messages can be left on the answer machine outside these hours.

Our advice offices in Chester (West Cheshire) and Macclesfield (East Cheshire) are open for carers to call in on Weds mornings 10am until 12.30 pm.
