About Carers Wales

Who we are

Carers Wales is part of Carers UK. We work for a better deal for all carers in Wales. We are a policy, campaigning and information organisation. We are a membership organisation, run by carers for carers through an elected Board of Trustees.  Our policies are guided and influenced by the Wales Committee, elected by the members in Wales. The Wales Committee is a sub-committee of the Board of Trustees.

What we do

Carers want to have a voice and to win the recognition and support that they deserve.  This is why they set up and continue to support Carers UK.

In Wales, we maintain contact with carers through our membership and networks of branches and affiliates.  We use the experience of carers to:

• Influence government policy  through the National Assembly for Wales 
• Work to improve the services that affect the lives of carers at local  level.
• Inform carers of their rights and what help is available.
• Campaign with others on UK wide issues such as benefits for carers. See the Wales Carers Alliance Carers Manifesto
