Pennie Muir, Regional Project Support Manager – Carers at Hywel Dda University Health Board, said: “It is excellent that Pembrokeshire libraries are holding some events for unpaid carers and I hope they will be well attended.
“Libraries provide carers with many resources to help them with their caring role, books, information, places to meet etc and these events will be another opportunity for unpaid carers to have a well-deserved break.
“The Pembrokeshire libraries are also engaged with the Investors in Carers scheme (a quality assurance scheme) and this work will be great evidence for their silver level, good luck.”
