What support is available?
In Wrexham, adult unpaid carers can access support, information and advice from NEWCIS, and young carers (under 18) can access support through WCD Young Carers.
NEWCIS
NEWCIS (North East Wales Carers Information Service) run groups, offer advice, information and support and undertake carer needs assessments (what matters conversations) on behalf of Wrexham Council.
If you provide unpaid care to a family member friend or neighbour you can contact NEWCIS to find out about the different types of support that is available.
WCD Young Carers
WCD Young Carers (pronounced Wicked Young Carers) is part of the Credu family and is commissioned by Wrexham Council as well as the Betsi Cadwalader University Health Board, and it puts young carers and their families at the heart of everything it does.
If you’re a young carer (under 18) who provides unpaid care to a family member friend or neighbour you can get in touch with WCD Young Carers to find out about the support that is available.
