Carers in the Vale

Meet other unpaid carers

We host social gatherings in the Vale of Glamorgan where carers from all backgrounds can get together in an informal setting, relax and share ideas, experiences and coping strategies. Gatherings are free and a great way to meet others in similar circumstances, exchange ideas and information-and have fun! 

We host gatherings year round and promote them on social media as well as through our newsletters. be be sure to find out about the latest dates, add us as a friend on facebook or become a follower on instagram. Events are held weekly across Cardiff and the Vale and we are always looking for new ways in which to support families – please contact us with any suggestions.
