Workplace Champion – Carers Wales

1 in 9 people combine work with caring for a loved one.  Many of them don't know where to turn for help.  As a Workplace Champion you are the vital link between Carers Wales and your colleagues. You'll spread the word about caring and raise awareness of Carers Wales in your workplace.  By promoting events and campaigns you'll be able to signpost those looking for support to the service and expert advice on offer.  You can do this by putting up posters in your staff room to advertise high profile national awareness campaigns such as Carers Week and Carers Rights Day.  You know your workplace and colleagues better than we do so we'd love you to come up with ideas for events and activities from a Carers Catch-up or bake sale to running an information stand.  Let us know your ideas.
