- Carers are an important link between members of Theatr Ffynnon and the workshop practitioners
- The support and understanding of the Carer is vital to the companies work & more importantly for the member to fulfil their potential
- There is a necessity to inform & educate carers about the company, its aims & objectives & its commitment to the members in attaining maximum benefit from their activities at Theatr Ffynnon
- Theatr Ffynnon’s capacity building potential would be greatly enhanced by the participation of more carers and all who work with people with learning disabilities
