Meeting approximately 6 times a year, this group is there for anyone who is caring for an adult with support needs. Through sharing their experiences, the group gives members the opportunity to participate in local and strategic decisions.
Older Voices

Organised by the Isle of Wight Clinical Commissioning Group, the LTCG holds regular topical discussions around themes affecting people with long term conditions.
