Manchester Carers Forum is led by unpaid carers so they know how it really feels to be a carer. Caring for a loved one can be a rewarding experience, but highly stressful too. Carers spend their entire lives putting others first, and as a result can often end up feeling insignificant, isolated and ignored. Feelings of failure and anger, and of constant worry are common. Manchester Carers Forum’s goal is to provide carers with a collective voice, and to provide the reassurance that someone is listening. Just knowing that someone cares can be a lifeline. With their support groups, training, mentoring and fun activities and advocacy for carers, they aim to be that lifeline.
