Are You A Carer?
Do you look after a family member or friend who couldn’t manage without your support? Perhaps they have a long-term illness, disability, mental health condition, or issues related to ageing.
Whether you provide care for a few hours a week or around the clock, your role is invaluable. But who’s looking after you?
Are You A Young Carer?
You might be looking after a parent, sibling, or relative who needs extra support. If you help at home in ways others your age don’t, you’re not alone – we’re here for you.
If you support someone living in Rochdale, Carers’ Hub Rochdale, and our dedicated service for young carers is here for you.
How Can We Support You?
We’re here to support you in your caring role for as long as you choose, while helping to protect your health and well-being. We understand that being a carer can be both rewarding and challenging. Our team offers expert information, guidance, and a wide range of personalised support to make life a little easier.
We take the time to listen, understand your needs, and create a tailored support plan just for you because every carer’s journey is unique.
What Can We Offer?
Support for Adult & Parent Carers
Support For Young Carers
We know being a young carer can be tough at times, and we’re here for you. We can help you to:
Statutory carer’s assessments
In Rochdale, these are carried out by Rochdale Borough Council. They can also help you explore the support available to help you continue in your caring role.
We can request a Carer’s Assessment on your behalf, or you can contact the Council directly by phone at 0300 303 8886 or by email at ad********@**********ov.uk. Alternatively, visit their website: Support for carers of adults | Rochdale Borough Council.
Carer Awareness For Professionals
We work with professionals and organisations across Rochdale to raise awareness of unpaid carers, helping to identify and support more people in caring roles.
Our flexible, tailored approach is designed to suit your time, setting, and professional needs. Support can include:
- Carer Awareness Briefings
- Carer Awareness Training
- Carer Champion Training
- Guidance for organisations and groups working towards our Carer Friendly Mark
If you’re a professional and would like to learn more or get involved, please get in touch.

Who Is A Carer?
A carer is someone who provides unpaid support to a loved one who would struggle without them. This could be helping with everyday tasks, providing emotional support, or managing medication and appointments.
Many carers don’t even realise they are carers – they just see it as ‘helping out’ or ‘doing what family does.’ But your role is important, and you deserve support too.
Get In Touch
We’re here to help. If you’d like to find out more about the support available to you, contact us today.
You are not alone. Carers’ Hub Rochdale is here to support you every step of the way
