The hub has been commissioned by Cheshire East Council in partnership with the NHS, and is being delivered by Making Space. This will ensure adult and young carers receive information and support which is tailored to their individual needs.
The Hub can offer carers a range of support, which may include:
- taking part in 1-2-1 or group based support activities
- helping carers to take a break and do something for themselves
- providing information, advice and guidance on specific topics
- helping carers to access community, health and wellbeing services
- accessing a range of activities and training
- Intensive support to carers (previous known as the Relive Service)
- giving carers the opportunity to apply for funds from the Living Well Fund (criteria needs to be met)
One of the many benefits of the Hub is that it is a single point of contact for all carers, their families and professionals.
