The 2026 All Wales Carers Assembly was held on Monday 23 March, bringing together around 50 unpaid carers from across Wales to discuss key issues and priorities. Attendees heard from leaders in health and social care services and also had the opportunity to engage with spokespeople from 6 political parties who look to be on course to win representation in the 2026 Senedd election in May.
We also discussed how Carers Wales and unpaid carers can work to shape services and society to be more carer friendly, to make life better for carers across the nation. This included how we can engage with candidates prior to the 2026 elections, and with whoever forms the next Welsh Government.
