1. You should get publicity information and new website details by the end of this month with regards to supporting Carers throughout Powys. We are hoping that our website will be genuinely useful to Carers and organisations. In the meantime, find attached our leaflet broadly outlining support for Carers – share with everyone and anyone!!!
2. In the meantime you can contact us or refer, our team are up and running and completely open to supporting Carers of all ages. Our number is 01597 823800, 9am – 5pm, Mon - Fri. Also you can pop into our hwbs in Llandrindod Wells (Marlow, South Crescent, LD1 5DH)and in Machynlleth on the main street opposite the Job Centre.
3. We will be holding events across Powys in the next year in which Carers and services can come together and plan together. We have allocated three thousand pounds per area to buy in courses / services or to be used as match funding. How these resources are allocated will be decided with Carers, along with you and others. Carers in Ystradgynlais are focusing their resources on developing an awareness raising film / play in the first year, but other areas might decide to buy in one of the brilliant courses from Alzheimers Society / Stroke Association etc. We’ll be in touch about these events.
4. Young Carers will be doing awareness raising sessions in schools and colleges – they have trained up and are rather brilliant and inspiring!
5. We are connecting with and collaborating with many of you – however if we have not been in touch with you and you want to collaborate we would love to hear from you!
