Manchester Carers Network wants to hear from organisations that work with carers, to help shape carer support in Manchester. 
As well as carer support organisations and Council services, Manchester Carers Network wants to hear from GP practices, NHS staff, employers, pharmacies, schools, colleges and anyone else who interacts with carers young and old.
A carer is someone of any age who supports - unwaged - a relative, partner or friend who due to physical or mental illness, disability, frailty or addiction could not manage without that support.

Have you ever felt that at events like this, you tell people what’s wrong but it doesn’t make the difference you were hoping for?
Manchester Carers Network will take a different approach and will learn from what is working to highlight the things which help carers best and the best possible support which could be available in the future. It will be an informal event where everyone shares their experience.
To confirm your attendance, email: [email protected] with any access or other requirements or if you need help with travel costs or replacement care costs to attend.
