The Wales Carers Alliance exists to work co-productively with unpaid carers to uphold carers rights and champion the voice of all carers across Wales.


Carers provide unpaid care by looking after a family member, partner or friend who may be ill, frail or have a disability. A carer is an adult or child who provides, or intends to provide that care.

The Alliance comprises national voluntary organisations in Wales which have declared policies on carer support and seek to work together to work with the Welsh Parliament, Welsh Government and other agencies to develop the legislative, policy, resource and service framework at national level to support carers in Wales.
