Beach Improvement

Swansea Carers’ Centre provides holistic support for carers and promotes positive caring. With the help of the National Trust, the Carers Clean up Team has been established and helps get carers involved with other people in the same situation. The group has adopted Rhossili beach and carry out a clean up every 2-3months, collecting 30 skips of waste in the last year. The group has not only created a cleaner, safer environment for locals and visitors alike, but it has also given the carers a renewed sense of confidence.
