Tag: Unpaid carers

This year we celebrated Carers Rights Day with a vibrant and engaging event at the National Botanic Gardens. The event, attended by 64 unpaid carers, was facilitated by Professor Nick Andrews of Swansea University and focussed on carers rights to have a break from their caring role.
More people are caring for a loved one than ever before and we all know that caring for a loved one can be a positive and rewarding experience, but carers need support and access to short breaks to help them continue their vital role.
It was uplifting to hear from so many carers what the importance of a short break means to them, giving them a much-needed opportunity to recharge their batteries and have some well-earned rest and relaxation.
