A group of us have got together to support the amazing work of the Carers Trust Wales. 3 in 5 people in the UK will become carers at sometime in their lives. We will all know of someone who is caring for a loved one and juggling everyday life.
Anyone could be a carer- a 15- year-old girl looking after a parent with an alcohol problem, a 40-year-old man working full-time whilst caring for his partner who has terminal cancer, or an 80-year old woman looking after her husband who has Alzheimer's. Carers make enormous sacrifices, often putting aside their education, careers, social lives and even their own health and wellbeing in order to care.
Carers Trust Wales supports over 36,000 carers, working with 11 Network Partners around Wales. They offer carers of all ages practical support and advice as well as campaigning for carers rights and delivering programmes, to producing key information for carers managing medicines and working with a range of professionals to ensure carers are better supported.
Thanks to your generous donation, Carers Trust Wales will be able to help alleviate the pressure from the lives of carers in Wales, making a real and lasting difference to their wellbeing, physical and mental health.

About Newport 10k
ABP NEWPORT WALES MARATHON & 10K Sunday 24th October 2021 Newport City Centre The ABP Newport Wales Marathon & 10K will take place on Sunday 24th October 2021, having been deferred from 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The popular race is a firm favourite in the Welsh running calendar, boasting one of the flattest marathon courses in the UK. Over 70% of all finishers have claimed a PB on a route that offers iconic landmarks, like the city’s Transporter Bridge and the stunning scenery of the Gwent Levels – with its coastal wildlife and picturesque medieval villages. The fast and fun supporting 10K race, which attracts some of the UK’s top athletes, gives runners of all abilities the opportunity to get involved in the festival of running, without committing to the challenging 26.2-mile distance.
