Gaddum

Gaddum Hi, I’m Gaddum. Therapy, advocacy & carers support in Greater Manchester. Registered charity no507162

I’m a charity offering advocacy, carer support, mental health, counselling and therapy services to Manchester. For nearly 200 years, I’ve been a voice for people struggling to have theirs heard, a shoulder to cry on for those shouldering a burden and a helping hand for anyone helping others to cope. I believe supporting individuals has a ripple effect on the whole community, ultimately building better futures all round. Everyone’s circumstances are unique, but whatever situation you find yourself in, I’m here to listen.

📢 Calling …

🙏 Would you like to volunteer & help us make sure the language in the refreshed carers’ strategy truly reflects how you see yourself?

📅 We’re looking for a diverse group of carers to form a ‘Carers Strategy Task & Finish Group’ and attend a couple of sessions in August, with an optional extra session in September.

🙌 Carers Commissioner Jess will be attending, so it’s an exciting opportunity to shape strategic change. We want more people who care for loved ones to recognise they're unpaid carers, so they can access the local support they deserve and reduce carer burnout.
