“Carers Action Group”
Some members of Carers Together have volunteered to represent carers of people with learning disabilities on Ealing Partnership Board for Learning Disabilities.
Known as the Carers Action Group, they meet regularly to look at the papers for the coming meeting, discuss issues of concern and identify items for the agendas for future meetings. They also elect the four people to attend the meeting of the Partnership Board and represent issues relevant to all carers.
