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:​
