We understand that you are currently providing valuable unpaid care and support to someone who would find it difficult to get by on their own.

Although caring for someone can be very rewarding it can also sometimes be very tiring and stressful or make it harder to look after your own health and wellbeing.

The person you care for must live in the Wigan borough (pay your council tax to Wigan council) for you to register as a carer with Wigan and Leigh carers centre.

There is more information about help with day-to-day living because of illness or disability on the NHS website.
