We warmly invite you to come join Age Cymru Gwent in partnership with Blaenau Gwent Council at our Carers Rights Day Event. Come along to relax, connect and celebrate the invaluable contribution you as Carers make to your loved ones and the community.

This event will be running alongside the Sunflower Café, a dementia-friendly space that welcomes carers, those they care for, and anyone seeking company. It’s a warm, safe place to relax, share a cuppa, and connect with others – whether you’re supporting a loved one or simply looking for friendly faces.
