“I remember being referred to the Young Adult Carers service when I was at my lowest. The organisation is a wonderful charity that helped me find support, escapism and develop to a point where I no longer feel embarrassed or trapped in my caring role. Over the years I’ve grown as a person, and it is with great thanks to Manchester Carers Centre’s endearing team who provide space to recharge and feel whole again.”

“The support that you have given me is so appreciated, the food parcels and the grant have made all the difference to me in reducing the stress of my caring role and life in general. Thank you for everything! Money has been such a worry ”
