On Sunday 24th October I will be taking part in the ABP Newport Wales 10k run.
This year I will be running in aid of Carers Trust Wales who are committed to improving support and services for unpaid carers across Wales.
Three in five of us will be a carer at some point in our lives and there are over 370,000 people caring unpaid in Wales. They are committed to making sure that all carers receive the recognition and support they deserve. They do this by recognising and celebrating the essential contributions carers make, raising awareness of the barriers faced by carers of all ages and working with decision makers to ensure that appropriate support is available to empower carers to live happy and fulfilling lives.
Why the community needs Carers Trust Wales
They work with Network Partners - local services that deliver direct support to carers - making the most of our collective experience, expertise and innovations.
Their impact on the community
Carers Trust Wales vision is of a world where the role and contribution of unpaid carers is recognised and they have access to the trusted quality support and services they need to live their own lives.
