As a carer it’s important to take a little break and spend some time talking to people who understand what you’re going through. That’s why we’re organising a weekly online Care for a Cuppa through Zoom.
These meet ups will allow you to connect with other carers and hear from organisations from across Wales on the work they are doing.
Each session is an hour long held on Tuesday afternoon or a Thursday evening. Get support from the Carers Wales team, talk about your day or talk about anything else you want to talk about. This is a chance to share your thoughts and feelings in a friendly, welcoming environment.
