Telford and Wrekin All Age Carers Centre can offer significant support to carers including young carers. Registering with them means you are then eligible to book on to any of their social activities, fire service home checks and energy checks, assistive technology advice, plus access to ongoing information and advice from the Carers Centre whenever you need it.  You may not want or need to take up some or even any of the support they offer at this time – perhaps you may wish to register ‘just in case’ for the future.
