The aim of the Princess Royal Trust Carers Centre is to provide information, advice and support to carers. The Centre is managed by a committee drawn from the membership of Central Carers Association, a voluntary organisation comprising of carers and those with an interest in carers issues. The Centre can provide information on a wide range of topics including benefits, holidays, support groups, respite care and more. They can also direct carers to appropriate help and services.
