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.
