Latest news and Drop-in around Bury from the Bury Carers Hub

Bury Carers' Hub

The Hub provides a single point of access for adult Carers who are caring for a Bury resident as well as former adult Carers whose caring role ended in the last 2 years.

Who is a carer?

A Carer is someone who cares for a family member, friend or neighbour who could not manage without their support.

A Carer may not always live with the person they care for, but their help can often be essential in enabling that person to go on living independently.

Whether they require care because of mental illness, disability, health, age, or substance misuse problems.

Caring for someone covers lots of different things, like helping with their washing, dressing, or eating, taking them to regular appointments, or offering emotional support.

Caring for someone who relies on you can impact on your health, finances and quality of life and may become more stressful over time.
