Gwent Carers Hub

The Gwent Carers Hub (funded by the Gwent Regional Partnership Board) is situated in the heart of Pontypool town and offers unpaid carers a safe space to talk about you and your caring role. Together, we can identify how Gwent Carers Hub and other local services can help you to understand, achieve and grow as an unpaid carer. Looking after your own wellbeing is essential to you and the person you care for. We understand how hard being an unpaid carer is and we are here to support you.
