Making Space has been supporting carers for over 40 years
We have seen the changing and ever increasing pressures carers experience and provide valuable support to help.
We have and always will listen to what carers tell us they need and adapt support accordingly.
Do you live in Cheshire East and look after someone?
You could be entitled to emotional, practical and financial support through the Cheshire East Carers Hub service.
We want to understand how you are doing physically and emotionally. If you reach out to us for support we will explore how we can help you in your caring role now and plan for the future.
We will work with you to find solutions and identify support and resources available to you in Cheshire East.
Our support will be personalised and holistic. With you we will consider all the areas of your life and what is important to and for you. This could include:
- A carer’s assessment
- One to one support
- Peer support and groups
- Activities and carer breaks
- Training both to support you in your caring role and for your own personal development or interests
- Volunteering opportunities
- Referrals and sign posting to our partners
- Opportunities to shape the service we provide

Where you can find us
Our teams offer regular groups and activities across Cheshire East.
We can also provide remote support via telephone and/or video call if you are unable to access a venue and can conduct home visits for carers who cannot engage in any other way.
We want to hear from you so we can help you to look after yourself. Tell us where, when, what and how we can provide support that would make a real difference for you.
