If you're an unpaid Carer in Blaenau Gwent we have exciting news for you!

The work you are doing is vital so your loved ones can remain living independently at home. However, your well-being is also important and should be safeguarded.

Funded by the Blaenau Gwent council, we organise free activities throughout each month, which allows you to meet with like-minded people. Our activities also aim to:
๐Ÿ‘‰ boost your well-being
๐Ÿ‘‰ make new friends
๐Ÿ‘‰ discover what support is available
๐Ÿ‘‰ learn new skills
๐Ÿ‘‰ and most importantly, have some ๐—™๐—จ๐—ก!

Please contact us if you would like further information or book a session (spaces are limited).
