Raise funds for Y Bont by organising a timto party – a revolutionary new children’s wish list service, with a charitable twist

Take a look here:  http://www.timto.co.uk/1/page/Y-Bont.aspx

Have your say about how caring has affected your health by taking part in the attached survey

 http://carersweek.org/get-involved/take-our-survey

So far there have been 141 responses in Wales but more are needed to have some real tangible evidence in Wales ready for Carers Week.   

The closing date for the survey is 16th March so we don’t have much time.

For families

If you are the parent or carer or other family member with a disabled child or a child with additional needs then there are probably many things you would like to know more about. This section of the website could help.
