Unpaid carers in Bridgend and Herefordshire have the chance to help shape and influence local support services through two new carers’ forums.

The forums offer carers the chance to have their say on support locally, help shape the services that matter to them, and meet other unpaid carers. It’s a great opportunity for carers to have their voices heard and their expertise can help services understand what support carers need.

The forums are run by the Bridgend Carers Wellbeing service and CarerLinks Herefordshire – both dedicated TuVida carers services that offer practical and emotional support to unpaid carers in the two local areas.

No qualifications or specific skills are needed to attend. Refreshments will be provided.
