Carers are holding families together, enabling those they care for to get the most out of life, making an enormous contribution to society and saving the economy billions of pounds. 

Yet many are stretched to the limit – juggling care with work and family life, struggling to make ends meet and often battling with poor health themselves.  

At Burscough Family Practice we aim to support Carers by maintaining an up to date register of paid and unpaid carers who are our patients and providing them with information and guidance from organisations such as Carers UK and Lancashire Carers Services.

Please find below two of the most recent publications from Lancashire Carers Services with a wealth of information including financial help and support groups.
