We will be arranging local events for our members nearest to their home addresses in places such as Llanelli. Ammanford. Llandeilo, Llandovery, Pembrey. Carmarthen. Pontyberem. Cross Hands and St Clears. Our members from across Carmarthenshire will be invited to our County Forums where generally we have a guest speaker, free raffle. and a 2 or 3 course lunch at a high-quality venue. Trustees are of the view that we should limit County wide Forums to three or four per year and concentrate more on local events. This would be more cost effective and attract even greater numbers. We also hope to invite a number of special guests to join us to use the event to understand the perspective of unpaid Carers, ex Carers and some cared for who will be in attendance.
