What we do

1 in 7 people in the workplace combine work with caring for someone. Many of them don’t know where to turn to for help.

As a Workplace Champion, you are the vital link between Carers Wales and your colleagues. You’ll spread the word about caring and raise awareness of Carers Wales in your workplace.

By promoting events and campaigns, you’ll be able to signpost those looking for support to the services and expert information on offer

Within your workplace, you’ll signpost colleagues to relevant
information, advice and resources so they may find the most appropriate support. As a ‘champion’ you’ll liaise with colleagues to ensure they're aware of the challenges unpaid caring may
bring to those in your place of work.

Volunteering as a Workplace Champion is a great opportunity to meet new colleagues, develop your organisational skills, get creative and make a real difference to carers' lives.

Who do we support

All volunteers must be over 18 years old

• You’ll listen and communicate with colleagues.
• You'll display posters and share information with colleagues,
signposting those who may be caring to our website.
• You’ll be involved with our high profile national awareness campaigns such as Carers Week and Carers Rights Day.
• You’ll promote challenge event opportunities and use your people skills to get your colleagues involved.
• You know your workplace better than us, so we’d love you to come up with ideas for events and activities from breakfast clubs to quizzes or hosting an information stand. Let us know your ideas!

You'll bring with you:

• a friendly personality
• great communication skills with a knack for motivating people to
get involved
• an understanding of what makes your workplace tick
• know the procedures and protocols of your workplace
• the ability to think creatively.
