This Carers Week 2026, we’re recognising and celebrating the incredible work unpaid carers do every day.
We want to hear from you. If you are an unpaid carer, please take a moment to complete our short anonymous survey and share your experiences. Your feedback will help us improve the support available in your community.

Self-Care Goals for Carers
It is often the case that Carers are so busy caring for others that they forget about themselves. The link below gives a brief introduction to how we can try to address this and make some changes in order to actively think about our own wellbeing. Looking after our own health and wellbeing is paramount.
It would be great to hear your comments or see photos of what you have been doing in order to have some time for yourself.

The Carers Support Team has been sharing simple ways to look after your wellbeing.
This is open to everyone, not just carers! Take what works for you.
We’re lucky to have the beautiful hills and valleys of Blaenau Gwent on our doorstep. Take at least 5 minutes today to pause, whether on a walk, in your garden, or even looking at a favourite photo, and just breathe...
Being present can help reduce stress and clear your mind.
