Funding has been made available from Wiltshire County Council to have a local focus group so carers can talk about issues facing them locally and to ensure the newly refreshed carers stategy is being implemented locally. This monthly meeting is to feed into a meeting that will be held every three months where professionals from the PCT,AWP, neighbourhood teams, housing etc will come and hear what carers have to say and devise ways to move forward. This will then feed into the meetings that will be held twice a year with Wiltshire County Council. If you would like to become involved in local carer issues and get your voice heard, please contact Kelly at Kennet Carers on 01672 564 265
