Caring for a family member or friend in Lancashire?
If you provide or intend to provide care or support for a family member, partner or friend who needs help because of their age, physical or mental illness or disability we're here to support you in your caring role.
We work with Lancashire County Council to provide a range of free online services to support you, in addition to what is already on offer.
Kick-start with our Email Course
To kick-start your support from us, sign-up to our five-part email course, designed specifically to help carers like you in Lancashire.
Establish strong foundations to your care or double-check you have the essentials in place.
Connect with others in a similar situation
Community and support from other carers is at the heart of what we do. Connect with others who are also looking after a family member or friend in the Mobilise Hub or on our online cuppas.
Speak to someone
If you struggle to find time to talk to someone about your caring role, our Carer Support Team are available seven days a week including in the evenings and at weekends too.
You’ll speak with another carer about the things that matter to you.
Ask our Mobilise Assistant anything
Whether you're struggling to find help with the cost of caring or incontinence, hospital discharge or respite, our AI-powered Mobilise Assistant is here to help you get quick answers about caring.
