Our carers Helpline is open Monday to Thursday 9.30am-

Trafford Carers Centre can offer a range of services to help

you in your caring role, these include:

A specialised caseworker who can come out and

provide you with information, advise, support and a

carers assessment. From the carers assessment, the

caseworker can see if there is need for any extra

support from other services and help to get this put in

place. Once the assessment is complete regular

reviews can be done to keep up to date with the

caring role and to identify if needs change and if more

support is needed.

Support Group for carers which run quarterly.

Dates and times are advertised in the Trafford Carers

Centre newsletter.

Therapies and counselling

TRAFFORD CARERS CENTRE

Personal Budget. The purpose of the budget is to

give carers some ’time out’ and to improve their

wellbeing. Carers can apply for the budget once they

have had a carers assessment or a follow up review.

If the money is awarded it can be used to spend time

away from your normal caring role. It is not to be

spent on the person u care for unless you will be

getting a break also. Please note you can apply for

the budget once a year.
