About Carer Hubs
Carer Gateway Carer hubs are welcoming community spaces for anyone who supports a family member or friend who has a disability, mental health condition, chronic health condition, terminal illness, or is frail aged.
Whether you see yourself as a carer or not, our hubs are here for everyone who supports someone else.
Carer hubs are calm, inclusive spaces where anyone can walk in, feel welcome, and be supported – no appointment needed. Drop in for a cuppa, have a chat, or simply take a break from your day.
What you’ll find at a hub
Meet other carers, join events or peer support activities, or simply talk with someone who understands.
Get information and guidance on the help available through Wellways Carer Gateway and other local support services.
You might not think of yourself as a carer, but if you’re supporting someone, you probably are. We’re here to help you explore that, without pressure.
Whether you stay for five minutes or an hour, hubs are a safe space to pause, recharge and feel seen.
