💬 “I don’t feel on my own anymore.” 💙

This Carers Week, we want to share the incredible impact of Halo’s Carers Respite Programme through the eyes of Gill.

Caring for her husband with deteriorating health meant Gill rarely left the house and often felt isolated. The programme changed everything by breaking down those barriers:

🕊️ Free Replacement Care: Halo arranged free care at home for her husband, giving Gill total peace of mind to step away and take some much-needed time for herself.

🤝 Peer Connection: She found a welcoming space to share experiences through both laughter and tears, realising she wasn't alone.

💡 Lifeline Support: Through the programme, she was connected directly with the Alzheimer's Society for home visits, vital support she didn't know existed before.

Today, Gill is managing her stress using mindfulness techniques she learned, exercising five times a week using her free 3-month Halo membership, and feels deeply connected to her community.

Unpaid carers give so much. We are so proud to provide a space where they can pause, breathe, and get the support they deserve. 💛

Bridgend County Borough Council, Merthyr Tydfil Unpaid Carers Partnership (MTUCP) Merthyr Tydfil CBC, and
Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board for their incredible support, making this vital programme completely FREE for our local carers.
