Carers Week (9 - 15 June) is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK. It also helps people who don’t think of themselves as having caring responsibilities to identify as carers and access much-needed support.

In December 2023, Michael, a learning and development specialist from Trafford, faced an unexpected heart attack at the age of just 28.

We have agreed that our two organisations will work together even more closely in the coming months and years to improve care for our patients, the communities we serve and make the best use of public money. This follows a joint meeting between our two boards of directors.

National Volunteering Week is an opportunity for us to say thank you to all our volunteers for their hard work and support. Their dedication, compassion and support across the Trust has had an overwhelmingly positive impact on those who use our services, their families/carers and our staff.

The Recovery Pathways service, part of GMMH, is excited to announce the launch of its Arts for Good Health Summer programme.
