Support for carers
Bridging The Gap Gwent (BTGG) is NEWCIS’ respite scheme that provides carers with financial support which enables a short period of rest from their caring role.
A short break from your caring role could include attending a personal appointment, an event or socialising with friends.
One of the ways you can access Ymestyn, is via Bridging the Gap. If you care for someone and reside in Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Gwent, Monmouthshire, Newport or Torfaen, you could be eligible to access the award-winning scheme.
The scheme is accessible to unpaid adult carers.
