Could you become a Caring Friend?
The Council's Caring Friends service is looking for volunteers to support unpaid carers across the city.
Unpaid carers play a vital role in supporting family members, friends and loved ones who cannot manage alone due to illness, disability, mental health challenges or age. While caring can be rewarding, it can also be isolating, and a friendly face or regular conversation can make a real difference.
Caring Friends is a volunteer-led befriending service that matches trained volunteers with unpaid carers to provide friendship, companionship and practical support. Volunteers might meet someone for a chat, make regular phone calls, help with shopping or assist with light household or gardening tasks.
Whether you've been a carer yourself or simply want to give something back to your community, volunteering with Caring Friends offers an opportunity to make a positive impact on someone's wellbeing and help them feel more connected.
All volunteers receive training and DBS checks before being matched with a carer.
If you can spare some time and would like to help support unpaid carers in Cardiff, we'd love to hear from you.

How connected is your community? Take part in a nationwide survey
Do you feel a strong sense of belonging where you live? Do neighbors look out for one another? How connected is your local community?
Researchers at the University of Oxford are inviting people across the UK to take part in The National Conversation on Community Cohesion, a major study exploring how people feel about their local area, their community and the United Kingdom.
The survey aims to build a clearer picture of life in communities across the country by looking beyond traditional statistics and asking people directly about their experiences.
While official figures can tell us a lot about an area, they can't capture what it's actually like to live there. The survey will help create one of the few resources that explores how places feel, not just how they are measured.
Participants will be asked about topics including:
- Sense of belonging in their local area
- Community connections and relationships
- Perceptions of unity and division
- Trust and neighbourliness
- Views about their local community and the wider UK
The survey is open to anyone living in the UK and takes around 10 to 15 minutes to complete. It includes a questionnaire with some interactive elements, along with a small number of demographic questions.
If you'd like to take part, find out more and complete the survey, visit: National Conversation
