      Thanks to the CTM/RCT Unpaid Carers Short Breaks Fund, unpaid carers and those they care for from Spectacle Theatre's Monday Night Group enjoyed an enriching and educational trip to The Royal Mint in Llantrisant on the last Monday of February.

Highlights included viewing the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic medals and learning about the bravery and service medals awarded in the UK.
