Wokingham Carers Partnership
Who we are
A commissioned service of three local charities, offering support to those who provide care to a child or adult family member, partner or friend who needs help because of their illness, frailty, disability, a mental health condition or an addiction and who cannot cope without their support. The care they give is unpaid.
The Three Partners
A partnership of three commissioned local charities: Age UK Berkshire, Berkshire Youth and Promise Inclusion. Between us we offer information, advice, and support to people throughout Wokingham who are caring for a child or adult family member, partner or friend who needs help because of their illness, frailty, disability, a mental health condition or an addiction and who cannot cope without their support. The care they give is unpaid.
