As Carers week approached, 6 to 12 June, the walkers on the Carers stroll gathered at Barry Island. The theme of this year’s Carers week was to, “make caring visible, valued and supported.” This walk aimed to support the many unpaid Carers in Wales today who find themselves in a caring role. Before we set off, a lady enquired what we were doing. After the walk was explained she said she had just dropped off her husband at the dementia support centre and would love to be part of the next walk. Respite, relaxation and time for yourself is essential for all Carers. This is a supportive group who laugh, chat, and chat some more, whilst enjoying wonderful sea views, in rain, sun, and wind..join us!<\/p>\n
