Carers Active Together

Tomorrow, 15 April, we are proud to support Carers Active Together Day – a national awareness day recognising the vital role of unpaid carers and promoting opportunities to support their health and wellbeing.

Across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan, partners are coming together to highlight the importance of staying active, connected and supported. To mark the day, we are pleased to share two dedicated e-bulletins:

These bulletins include helpful information, local opportunities and support available for both adult unpaid carers and young carers.

Get involved – local events

As part of Carers Active Together Day, our partners are hosting friendly, accessible activities to encourage carers to take time for themselves and connect with others.

Valeways Strollers – Carer-Friendly Walks

Unpaid carers and the people they support are warmly invited to join a relaxed and sociable walk. These sessions are designed to be inclusive, gentle and welcoming for all abilities.

Each walk will last around one hour (approximately 2 miles) and offers a great opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, meet others and support your wellbeing.

Valeways is a volunteer-run charity committed to promoting health and wellbeing through walking, improving access to the countryside, and offering inclusive opportunities for people of all ages and abilities.

Supporting our carers

Unpaid carers play a vital role in our communities, often balancing caring responsibilities with their own health and wellbeing. Carers Active Together Day is an opportunity to recognise this contribution and encourage carers to take time for themselves, stay active and feel connected.

We encourage partners, communities and individuals to share this information and support carers to get involved.
