Claire Morgan – Director

Beth Evans – Information and Communications Officer
Beth took up her post in June 2006 having been previously employed by Rhondda Cynon Taf Council, the Disability Rights Commission, Disability Wales and the Equal Opportunities Commission. A key part of her role is to inform and advise carers, professionals and policy makers about carers’ rights and legal entitlements and keep abreast of policy changes that may affect carers on a Wales and National level.
Dawn Owen - Engagement and Volunteering Officer - North Wales
Dawn joined Carers Wales in January 2018 and was previously with Tenovus Cancer Care for 4 years, where she worked as a Welfare Benefits Advisor for patients and their families who were or had been touched by cancer and provided a holistic service with the aim of getting the best income replacement for them.
Dawn works with our volunteer network and our outreach activities which engage local community groups and services. This helps others enhance the lives of carers.
This is primarily achieved by supporting our volunteers to reach out to carers in their communities to ensure people recognise themselves as carers, Carers Wales in visible and carers know where to go for support.
