Carers Week - 10-16 June
What's it about?
Monday 10 to Sunday 16 June is Carers Week - a national, annual campaign designed to highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK.
The theme for Carers Week 2024 is 'Putting carers on the map' - highlighting the increasing pressures that are being put on carers and campaigning for much-needed recognition and support.
