Free drop-in event for carers in Denbigh to showcase available support

Carers across Denbighshire are invited to attend a free drop-in ‘Carers, Coffee, Cake and Chat’ event at Denbigh HWB on Monday, 8 June, between 1pm and 3pm, offering a valuable opportunity to connect, chat, and discover the wide range of support services available locally.

The event is open to anyone in a caring role, including volunteers, those supporting family members or friends, and people working within the care sector. Whether someone is new to caring or has years of experience, the session aims to provide helpful information, guidance, and support in a relaxed setting.

Attendees will have the opportunity to connect a number of organisations offering specialist advice and services, including NEWCIS, Warm Wales, wellbeing support services, My Home Denbighshire, and other local organisations.

Designed as an informal drop-in, people can come along at a time that suits them, have a chat with professionals, and learn about practical support available, from financial advice and time management support to wellbeing resources and housing guidance.

Support like this can make a real difference. Courtney, 25, came to Working Denbighshire while balancing job searching with caring for her son, who has autism. With the right support, she built her confidence, completed training, and secured a work placement in a local school, showing how access to the right help can open up new opportunities.

Councillor Jason McLellan, Leader of the Council and Lead Member for Economic Growth & Tackling Deprivation said:

"We know that many carers don’t always see themselves as carers, and as a result may not realise what support is available to them. This event is about creating a friendly, informal space where people can come along, have a chat, and find out what help is out there. Even small pieces of support can make a big difference."

Zienna-Lynn Teece-Lockley, Community Employment Mentor added:
"Carers are essential in our communities, often putting others first.  As a mentor specialising in supporting carers, I feel this event is a fantastic opportunity for them to take some time for themselves, find out what support is available, and make connections with organisations that can help make their role a little easier.""

No booking is required as residents can simply drop in to Denbigh HWB between 1pm and 3pm on 8 June.

Working Denbighshire’s support is free and available to anyone aged 16+ living in Denbighshire who would like help moving forward.
