Issue - meetings

This week was recognised as being National Carers' Week. It was explained that this week was an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, to highlight the challenges faced by unpaid carers and to recognise their vital contribution. On behalf of the Cabinet, a sincere thank you was given to the thousands of unpaid carers in Gwynedd who looked after family members, friends and neighbours day in day out. It was emphasised that their work made an enormous difference to people's lives and to our communities, and that this work very often happened behind the scenes. Staff and partners working alongside carers to support them were thanked.

It was noted that the Council was hosting events across the county throughout the week to discuss the support available to unpaid carers, and that these events were open to everyone.

No apologies were received. 

Everyone was welcomed to the meeting and the opportunity was taken to recognise Plaid Cymru's victory in the Senedd Election earlier this month. The First Minister was congratulated on his appointment, along with former elected members of this Council as well.

The Council's Elections Team, and all the staff involved in the Election were thanked for their work.

No apologies were received.
