Foreword

"Our carers are so often the unsung heroes in our communities, who are providing valuable and essential support to some of our most vulnerable people who need help the most.

The priorities detailed in our Carers Strategy 2021-2024 are focused on us achieving the best possible outcomes for our carers, based on their feedback and shaped around their needs.

We want to make sure our carers have access to services that support their physical and mental health and wellbeing, and we also want to ensure we give our carers opportunities to thrive despite them giving their own time selflessly to care for others.

Ultimately, this strategy will shape our approach to offering more support, in new and different ways, to our carers. It will also act as a vehicle through which we can recognise and celebrate the immense impact that our carers have across Warrington.

As we come out of the coronavirus pandemic with our minds firmly set on 'recovery', we need to ensure that we have the right support, in the right places and accessible at the right times, for all of our carers.

We will continue to be so grateful to our community of carers in our town. This strategy reflects our ongoing commitment to providing our carers with the very best level of support we can."
