Money Matters for Unpaid Carers

Financial guidance and support for unpaid carers: supporting carers to navigate benefits, entitlements and budgeting to ensure they have access to the financial information they need to manage their responsibilities.

The Bury Carers Hub service have access to local and national organisations that can provide information and guidance regarding finance and money related issues.

The Citizens Advice Bureau Bury & Bolton facilitate ‘drop in’ sessions at our regular groups. This service is for carers registered with Bury Carers Hub. For dates and more information, please contact 0300 303 0207.
