Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic Carers
10% of the population in Swansea are from a Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic (BAME) background; many of whom will be carers. The BAME carers face additional difficulties as they care – struggling with language barriers, accessing culturally appropriate services and with stereotyping around caring. This puts them at greater risk of ill health, poverty, loss of employment and social exclusion.
The BAME project at Swansea Carers Centre works together with local BAME organisations to identify BAME carers and encourage them to feed into developing our new carer support service.
The project organises:
-
Badminton sessions
-
Sewing classes
-
IT sessions
-
1-1 support
-
Form filling
-
Translation needs
-
Vouchers for female only swimming sessions
-
Days out
If you are a carer within the BAME community, you are a professional working in the BAME community or perhaps you know someone who could benefit from our help then please contact:
