Denbighshire Talking Points to feature drop-in sessions for unpaid carers as part of Carers Week

Talking Points around Denbighshire will feature drop-in sessions for Denbighshire’s unpaid carers throughout National Carers Week this week, with carers assessors attending Talking Point sessions during the awareness week.

The support offered by the Talking Points service through British Red Cross Community Navigators is wide reaching, and paring this with help and advice from carers assessors allows unpaid carers to get support on a wide range of topics.

The Talking Points locations and times are as below:

Every Monday (except bank holidays) - St Asaph Library, 10:00am – 12.30pm

Every Tuesday - Rhyl Library and Ruthin Library, 10:00am – 12.30pm

Every Wednesday - Denbigh Library and Corwen Library, 10:00am – 12.30pm

Every Thursday - Llangollen Library, 10:00am – 12.30pm

Every Friday (except bank holidays) - Prestatyn Library and Rhuddlan Library, 10:00am – 12.30pm

These sessions allow unpaid carers to find out about the support available to in their local areas, without having to travel across the county to access support.

Councillor Elen Heaton, Lead Member for Health and Social Care said:

“Looking after a loved one isn’t always easy, which is why it’s important that carers know where they can turn to for support.

During National Carers Week, I’d encourage anyone caring for a family member, friend or neighbour to pop into one of these sessions and find out more about the support available across Denbighshire.”
