Carers Trust is delighted to announce that Neath Port Talbot Carers Service has joined the Carers Trust Network, following approval by the Wales Advisory Board. This takes our network in Wales up to nine local carer organisations and 125 across the UK.
“Er bod llawer yn y Gyllideb Ddrafft hon sy’n dangos ymrwymiad Llywodraeth Cymru i ofalwyr di-dâl, mae hwn serch hynny yn gyfle a gollwyd i fabwysiadu dull mwy cynaliadwy o gefnogi gofalwyr di-dâl, sef conglfaen ein system iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru."
“While there is much in this Draft Budget that shows Welsh Government’s commitment to unpaid carers, this is nevertheless a missed opportunity to take a more sustainable approach to supporting unpaid carers, who are the cornerstone of our health and social care system in Wales."
