Our vision is of a society in which disadvantaged people can lead full and independent lives fully participating in society.
Our mission is to promote the equality, dignity and independence of disadvantaged people.
The overall aim of the Carers Health and Wellbeing Service is to improve the quality of life for Carers in Wirral, supporting them to sustain their caring role and enhancing their ability to enjoy a life outside of their caring role.
Most support services are provided by independent, voluntary or third sector providers who receive funding from the council or the Integrated Care Boards.
Some of these free services can be accessed directly without the need for a social services assessment. However, access to some other services requires an assessment to see if you are eligible for support.
We aim to help with your caring responsibilities so you can maintain some independence and balance in your own life.
This support could be:
Information and advice about support that is available
Referral to Carer support services in the community
A personal budget or grant to help meet some of your own needs

No need to book, come along, pull up a chair and have a brew with other carers and our peer-support volunteers.
We listen to your experiences with Health and Social Care services. We make sure that people who plan your services listen to your views.
Anyone in Wirral can contact us to find out what help and support is available in our area. From yoga classes to support groups, adaptations at home to coping with life following serious illness we are happy to point you in the right direction.

Wirral University Teaching Hospital, recognises and appreciates the vital role Carers play in the life of all of our patients and we have joined the Regional Carers Passport scheme, We want to promote a culture that recognises Carers and their needs within our hospital.
The Carer Passport supports staff to honour our carers pledge by acknowledging the patient has a carer in place and values their input. Whilst you are providing carer support at the Trust, we will ask you what support you as a carer may need and will strive to support you or help you find relevant support.
The passport is a free ID issued by WUTH, once a carer has requested one with one of the clinical team of the patient. All carers will have to complete a Carer Passport Partnership Agreement, that they can discuss with the care team and then they will be issued the ID card.
We help people of all ethnic backgrounds living on the Wirral stay healthy and well.
Give our service users a voice by providing people who can speak their language to advise and support them with their health, social care, education and welfare benefits’ needs.

In short, we open doors to essential services that are available to everyone.
Social prescribing Link Workers are present in surgeries across the Wirral to help patients identify and link with sources of support within the community. These non-medical referral options can complement existing medical treatments to improve health and wellbeing.

The role of a Social Prescribing Link Worker is to give people a chance to talk, listen to them carefully, offer emotional and practical support and provide them with the advice, information and support they need whatever their worries, questions or concerns.
