It’s officially Carers Week (5-11 June 2023), a to take the opportunity to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges unpaid Carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK. It also helps people who don’t think of themselves as having caring responsibilities to identify as Carers and access much-needed support.
To acknowledge the contribution and value of Carers, Carers Week is being celebrated in Pembrokeshire by a range of organisations. Adferiad (PCISS), Action for Children, PAVS, Pembrokeshire County Council, Hywel Dda University Health Board, VC Gallery, Dementia Supportive Communities and others are putting on a range of free events.

A 12-week GB-wide consultation launched Tuesday 7 March which seeks views on the government’s proposals to require all bird keepers to register their birds and update their information annually.
At present, all poultry keepers in Great Britain are encouraged to record the details of their flock with the Animal and Health Plant Agency (APHA) poultry register, but only those who keep 50 birds or more, are required by law to do so.
New proposed rules will require all bird keepers, no matter how many birds they keep, to register their birds and update their information on an annual basis. This includes owners of backyard flocks, birds of prey and pigeon fanciers. This will enable the government to communicate with poultry keepers quickly, to manage potential disease outbreaks, such as avian influenza, and limit the spread. By registering their birds, keepers will ensure they receive important information on biosecurity rules to help protect their flocks from the threat of avian influenza.
Details on this consultation can be found here. We would be very grateful if you could share this information with your colleagues and members.
Comments Off on Appeal for local communities and volunteers to help with Operation Nightingale 23
Do you have any spare time to support people who are well enough to return home from hospital but who still need a little help to get back on their feet?
Could you help with things like shopping, dog walking, light housework, and collecting prescriptions? Or maybe you could give someone a lift home from hospital, or simply be on the end of a phone for a friendly chat to check people are doing OK?
These are just a few examples of specific ways in which members of the public can volunteer their help with Operation Nightingale 23 – an emergency social care campaign launched by Pembrokeshire County Council and partners to reduce the current pressure in local hospitals.
