Have your say on how Cardiff Council support unpaid carers moving forward

Cardiff Central Library

Do you look after a relative or friend by helping them with their daily activities and needs? We’d like your views on how Cardiff Council can support you. Cardiff Council is working with carers charity Carers Wales, to review and reshape the support that is provided to unpaid carers. Unpaid carers are those who provide unpaid support and care for one or more people because they are ill; have a disability; are vulnerable; have a mental health condition; have an active addiction; or are older.We would like to give an overview of training and support that is already available and invite unpaid carers to share feedback on what is provided and what else would be helpful. We are holding the following focus groups on the training and support that would help carers manage their day to day caring role:•	18 September 10:00-12:00 at Cardiff Central Library•	19 September 2023 10:00-12:00 online via Teams We’re keen to hear your views on: •	Our current training and support offer •	What training or support would carers find helpful e.g. manual handling, first aid? •	How would you like us to share information on training opportunities?•	How should training and support be delivered? Online, in person? •	Would support for emotional wellbeing and mental health be helpful? •	Would opportunities to meet with other carers be beneficial? If you can’t make the event, we’d still love to hear your feedback, please email us at info@carerswales.org

Gwahoddiad Grŵp Ffocws 
Ydych chi'n gofalu am berthynas neu ffrind drwy eu helpu gyda'u gweithgareddau a'u hanghenion bob dydd?
Hoffem gael eich barn am y ffordd y gall Cyngor Caerdydd eich cynorthwyo. 
Mae Cyngor Caerdydd yn gweithio gyda'r elusen Gofalwyr Cymru i adolygu ac ail-lunio'r cymorth sy'n cael ei gynnig i ofalwyr di-dâl. Gofalwyr di-dâl yw'r rhai sy'n rhoi cymorth a gofal di-dâl i un neu fwy o bobl am eu bod yn sâl; ag anabledd; eu bod yn agored i niwed; â chyflwr iechyd meddwl; eu bod yn gaeth i rywbeth; neu’n hŷn.
Hoffem roi trosolwg o’r hyfforddiant a’r cymorth sydd eisoes ar gael a gwahodd gofalwyr di-dâl i rannu adborth ar yr hyn a ddarperir a beth arall fyddai'n ddefnyddiol. Rydym yn cynnal y grwpiau ffocws canlynol ar yr hyfforddiant a'r cymorth fyddai'n helpu gofalwyr i reoli eu rôl ofalu o ddydd i ddydd:
•	18 Medi 2023 10:00-12:00 yn Llyfrgell Ganolog Caerdydd 
•	19 Medi 2023 10:00-12:00 ar-lein drwy Teams 
Rydym yn awyddus i glywed eich barn ar: 
•	Ein hyfforddiant a'n cymorth presennol 
•	Pa hyfforddiant neu gymorth fyddai o gymorth i ofalwyr, e.e. codi a chario, cymorth cyntaf? 
•	Sut hoffech chi i ni rannu gwybodaeth am gyfleoedd hyfforddi?
•	Sut ddylai hyfforddiant a chymorth gael eu darparu? Ar-lein, yn bersonol? 
•	A fyddai cymorth ar gyfer lles emosiynol ac iechyd meddwl yn ddefnyddiol? 
•	A fyddai cyfleoedd i gwrdd â gofalwyr eraill o fudd?
