Lisa Howells

As an unpaid carer myself, I understand the complexities everyday life can bring, the important role unpaid carers have for their loved ones and in society. I continue to work and raise awareness of unpaid carers of all ages, having worked in the third sector for the last 16 years supporting the identification of hidden unpaid carers, sharing information and resources to help identify hidden carers who may need support.

Commitments

All the staff at Coleg Gwent aim to both support and inspire all our young adult carers to ensure they will be empowered by high quality teaching to learn, achieve, and progress as rounded, confident individuals.
