Local Health & Support

​The Carers Hub offers information, advice, guidance and support to carers on behalf of Stoke-on-Trent City Council, Staffordshire County Council and NHS. We provide a free of charge service to all unpaid adult and young carers across the county, including carers who live out of the area but provide care for someone who does live in Staffordshire. ​ ​

Problems rarely come singly. Our advice looks at the whole of a person\'s situation and addresses the whole of the problem. Citizens Advice\'s uniquely holistic service enables us to address each of these issues, accessing specialist advice within the organisation where necessary, making referrals to external agencies where appropriate, but all offered under the umbrella of the area’s only genuine one-stop shop.

If you or someone you care about is struggling with the impact of drugs or alcohol then we’re here to help you. We offer support to adults, young people, carers, partners and families who live in Stoke-on-Trent to make a positive and sustainable change to their lives and the community they live in.

You can find information about: • how to report abuse and neglect; • social care assessments; • types of support available; • paying for care and support; • how to live independently, including finding out about Lifeline and Telecare technology; • activities to help you live a healthy lifestyle; • how to apply for welfare benefits; and so much more

Some young people like to speak to a counsellor or well-being practitioner in person when they want help with things that are affecting the way that they are feeling.

The Staffordshire Mental Health Helpline is for you if you are feeling concerned, worried, stressed or low, or if you are worried about someone you know. You may be going through a difficult time and feel that you have no one to talk to.

At Restart we are often the last line of hope for some individuals facing homelessness. We are proud of our unique commitment to taking on board clients that others may have deemed too challenging. If you or somebody you know are facing homelessness or leaving prison, you can make a direct referral for supported housing to our service. It can be done online in the strictest confidence.

We are the national membership charity for organisations working directly with people who become homeless in England. We work to make services better and campaign for policy change that will help end homelessness.
