This week is Carers Week. But, I strongly believe that ALL carers deserve our recognition, admiration, and support every week.
Carers across the UK undertake an invaluable role which is a lifeline for those they care for. The level of support that carers provide often comes at a great cost to their own health and wellbeing.
This is why we have called on the Welsh Labour Government to support unpaid carers with a right to respite and give them free access to training, support, and carer assessments.
Also, if you are an unpaid Carer in Wrexham, you can apply for a £500 payment from the Welsh Government. The payment is aimed at individuals who care for someone for at least 35 hours a week and have a low income. You have until 5pm on 15 July 2022 to apply. If successful, payments will be made from June through to the end of September 2022.
