Carer Support Groups and Organisations

Support and friendship can come in many different forms when you are caring for someone at home. One way is through a local Carer Support Group.

Carer Support Groups allow carers aged 18+ to talk to each other, share common experiences, make new friends and obtain useful advice and information.

Blackpool Carers Centre runs a range of groups and is always pleased to welcome new carers and see new faces. Below is a list of groups that meet on a regular basis.
