Newport Carers’ Forum hosted a Question Time event for Senedd election candidates at The Place on Bridge Street, Newport. The session provided an opportunity for candidates to address issues affecting carers in the local community.
Attendees discussed topics such as support services, funding, and policies impacting carers’ wellbeing. The event aimed to inform voters and highlight the concerns of those providing unpaid care.
**Why this matters**
Carers play a vital role in supporting vulnerable individuals, often facing significant challenges. Engaging candidates in dialogue helps ensure that carers’ needs are considered in policy decisions following the election.
