PAVS develops services for carers throughout Pembrokeshire in line with the Carers Strategy and develops ways in which carers and carers' organisations can play a full part in multi-agency partnership planning. The Carers Development Worker can develop and support carers groups to identify areas of unmet need, which can then be fed into the planning process.
Carers Week 8th – 12th June 2009
This year the theme of the week was ‘Carers are Pembrokeshire’s Unsung Heroes’. During the week roadshows were held throughout the County, and a successful Carers Day was held at the Rugby Club in Haverfordwes. For the full news from around the County regarding Carers Week, please see here...
