Preston Carers Centre is a network member of the Princess Royal Trust for Carers.

On Tuesday 8th January 2008 we were delighted to welcome Her Royal Highness Princess Anne to officially open our Carers Centre. The Princess Royal met Carers, Young Carers, members of Staff, funders and some local famous faces including Sir Tom Finney, and talked to them at length about issues affecting Carers and what the centre means to them.
