Education Programmes for Patients (EPP Cymru)
EPP Cymru provide a range of self-management courses for people living with a long-term health condition/s and unpaid carers.
Our self-management courses support you to have the confidence, information and skills needed to help you manage a condition in partnership with your health and social care professionals.
Caring for Me and You (Course for Unpaid Carers)
This is a 6-week course consisting of one 2.5-hour session each week. It helps adults who care for someone with a long-term health condition to maintain and improve their quality of life through self-management.
Topics include: staying healthy, improving fatigue, improving sleep, accessing support, challenging behaviours, dealing with difficult thoughts and emotions, future planning and legal issues, relaxation, developing and maintaining your own self-management care plan, problem solving and decision making.
How are the courses run?
Sessions take place weekly over a number of weeks, delivered by trained facilitators who live with a long-term health condition/s themselves or care for someone who does.
These courses are available both in person and online and provided in suitable venues in local communities.
The courses offer people a chance to share experiences, concerns and problems in a safe and welcoming space.

Track the Act 8 – 2025/2026
As we come to the end of the financial year, Carers Wales have launched their annual Track the Act survey for unpaid carers' experiences over the last year since last April 2025.
The Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act has been in place for 10 years - but is it truly delivering for unpaid carers? Track the Act is your opportunity to say what’s working, what isn’t, and whether you are receiving the information, advice and support you are legally entitled to.
Every response helps build vital evidence of how carer law operates in real life, strengthens the case for improvement, and ensures that decision-makers hear carers’ voices. It only takes a few minutes to complete, but your input could help shape the future of carer support in Wales.

Carers Active Together
Coming soon: Carers Active Together, a day of national action promoting movement, wellbeing and the power of community for unpaid carers across the country, is taking place on 15 April 2026.
Our next ebulletin will be a Carers Active special and will feature articles on being active in a way that feels positive, refreshing and recharging for you - whether that’s something gentle at home, joining an online session, going for a short walk, or taking part in a local activity.

If you currently receive carers’ information in the post, or if someone has forwarded this information on to you, we would be very grateful if you could provide an email address, so you do not miss out on opportunities to apply for funding or attend an appropriate training course, for example.
Note: If you have received this email from us, you do not need to provide your email address.

Tracio’r Ddeddf 8 – 2025/2026
Wrth i ni gyrraedd diwedd y flwyddyn ariannol, mae Gofalwyr Cymru wedi lansio eu harolwg Tracio’r Ddeddf blynyddol ar brofiadau gofalwyr di‑dâl dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf ers mis Ebrill 2025.
Mae Deddf Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol a Llesiant (Cymru) wedi bod ar waith ers 10 mlynedd - ond a yw wir yn cyflawni ar gyfer gofalwyr di-dâl? Dilyn y Ddeddf eich cyfle i ddweud beth sy'n gweithio, beth sydd ddim, ac a ydych chi'n derbyn y wybodaeth, y cyngor a'r gefnogaeth y mae gennych hawl gyfreithiol iddynt.
Mae pob ymateb yn helpu i adeiladu tystiolaeth hanfodol o sut mae cyfraith gofalwyr yn gweithredu mewn bywyd go iawn, yn cryfhau'r achos dros welliant, ac yn sicrhau bod gwneuthurwyr penderfyniadau yn clywed lleisiau gofalwyr. Dim ond ychydig funudau y mae'n eu cymryd i'w gwblhau, ond gallai eich mewnbwn helpu i lunio dyfodol cefnogaeth i ofalwyr yng Nghymru.
