Young people have been celebrating Young Carers Action Day in the Senedd. @WelshGovernment is committed to promoting support for young carers across Wales. Last year we funded 4,000 young carers to take a short break from their caring responsibilities. https://t.co/aSygKncmTy

Finding the good! A conversation on commissioning. An insightful presentation from @RecoveryCymru on alliance commissioning; the benefits to the public sector, working with the community and voluntary sector and those with livid experience. It’s bold and ambitious but a new way!

The dragon rises out of the water! It's maintenance time in Gosport. It takes both financial and human resources to make this happen. Lots of work to be done as our galley and saloon will be removed ready for our survey.

Young carers have an invisible weight on their shoulders. You can help to take some of the weight off! 🎒 #YoungCarersActionDay is about raising awareness. The more people know about young carers, the easier it is for them to get support 🤝 Get involved: https://t.co/6ZUMm1utkE

📣 Open and honest conversations can help ourselves and others. If you’re wanting to check in with a child or young person, why not start by asking “Hey! How’s it going?”. A conversation has the power to change lives. #MentalHealth #TimeToTalk #YouAreNotAlone #Barnardos
