A carer is anyone who looks after a family member, partner or friend who needs help because of their illness, frailty, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction and cannot cope without their support.

Every year, we hold our annual Walk A Mile event to celebrate the incredible work unpaid carers do 24/7 and raise vital funds, enabling us to increase support for carers in Swindon so that they can lead a healthy, fulfilling life alongside their caring role.

We are delighted that Suzuki and Hyundai car dealership Pebley Beach will be generously sponsoring our Walk A Mile event for another year, match funding anything we raise up to £1,000.

Although we cannot gather together to walk a mile, we are asking you to do this in your local community following Covid-19 guidelines. Here are a few ideas to help you plan.

Whether you are walking with family, friends or colleagues we would love to hear your plans! Email carers@swindoncarers.org.uk to get in touch and for further information.
