Between September and December 2023 there were
a number of events, meetings and presentations given to a wide
selection of groups and individuals who are carers themselves, or
represent and support unpaid carers. There was also a short survey
of services that provide support to unpaid carers. Presentations
have been given to a wide range of partnership boards which include
The Autism Partnership Board, Dementia Partnership and Programme
Boards, the Mental Health Advisory Group. Presentation was also
