Carers Week starts today

Monday 12 June 2023
10:00 to 12:00

Carers Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK. It also helps people who dont think of themselves as having caring responsibilities to identify as carers and access much-needed support.

We believe that unpaid carers and the challenges of caring should be recognised in all areas of life, caring should be valued and respected by everyone in our society, and carers should have access to the information and support they need, where and when they need it.
