Wrexham unpaid carers given opportunity to have their say

Wrexham Council wants to know if you provide unpaid care to a friend, family member or neighbour, who could not manage without that support?

If you do, they want to know about your experiences as an unpaid carer accessing services in Wrexham and are asking you to complete an unpaid carers survey.

If you provide unpaid care to someone who cannot cope without your support due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction, you are an unpaid carer. The person you support could be a family member, friend or neighbour. 

The council is providing an opportunity for residents to let them know what is working well and what could be done better and you have until August 31, 2023, to complete it.

Cllr John Pritchard, lead member for Adult Social Care said: “This survey is really important to us.

"We want to make sure we are listening to unpaid carers in Wrexham and are providing the services, advice and information they need.

"The results from this survey will help us to shape the support we offer to unpaid carers. I would encourage anyone who provides unpaid care to fill out the survey.”
