Call Directions Website Contact the organisation

We are a non-profit Charity supporting unpaid carers of all ages across the Wigan Borough This is often done out of love or friendship and they do not get paid.

Open Monday to Friday 9.00 am - 4.30 pm
Our office telephone number is: 01942 697885 for all your queries relating to caring issues. Wigan and Leigh Carers Centre was established in 2010 and is a Network Partner of Carers Trust. At the Centre we aim to support both young and adult carers to recognise their own needs, have their voices heard, help with their physical and mental wellbeing and ensure they are fully understood, valued and supported in their caring role. There are an estimated 36,000 people in Wigan supporting someone living with an illness or disability or a mental health need. People often don’t recognise themselves as a carer but if you provide support to a friend, partner, relative or neighbour who could not manage without you, then you are a carer and Wigan and Leigh Carers Centre can help you. All caring journeys are different, at the centre we tailor our help and support to each person’s unique situation. All of our services are free of charge or subsidised.
