About us
Warrington Carers Centre was opened in April 1998 and provides a focal point for carers, offering information, support, social and training activities, a quarterly newsletter and a free helpline. Our drop-in facility is Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10am till 2pm and all are welcome. We are affiliated to The Princess Royal Trust for Carers.
- There are currently 10 members of staff employed at the Centre plus an essential team of volunteers. The centre also employs the services of a counsellor one day a week and will hopefully gain a student social worker on a placement soon.
As a Carers Centre we are constantly seeking ways of identifying some of the many 'hidden carers' in our community and offering them the help and support to which they are entitled. We therefore, welcome ways in which we can work with other groups or individuals who may have contact with carers in order to give the best possible service to carers in Warrington. If we can be of any assistance to you in this regard please do not hesitate to contact the Carers Centre .
The centre is run by a Board of Trustees and is a registered charity. It is funded from a variety of sources both statutory and charitable.

G.P. Liaison
Working closely with the G.P. practices in Warrington to identify carers and their issues and hopefully provide support before the carer reaches crisis point. If you are a carer then please let your G.P. know.
