Wigan and Leigh Carers Centre
Carers are at the heart of everything we do. We care deeply about making it our mission to make a positive difference to the lives of both young and adult carers in Wigan borough.
Our primary aim will always be a commitment to the needs of carers, respecting their wishes and choices about how they want to receive care and support. We will always look at the individual and what’s important to them in their life.
Our vision is to empower carers with a range of support and life opportunities. All carers should feel enabled to fulfil their caring role as effectively and happily as possible. We never lose sight of what’s important to carers such as activities, hobbies and their personal choices, and we actively seek to gather these views. These details are a valuable guide and will ensure we provide the best possible support to enrich carer’s lives.
We believe that carers themselves are the most powerful force to shape the delivery of our services. In everything we do, we are led by carers, ensuring they have choice, control, and a voice as experts in care.
Wigan and Leigh Carers Centre represents carers and raises awareness of caring, working with local communities, organisations and service providers to build a carer-friendly Wigan.
