Carers Week (9-15 June) is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face, and recognise the incredible contribution they make to families and communities. 

A carer is anyone who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction cannot cope without their support.

This year the theme is 'Caring About Equality' highlighting the inequalities faced by unpaid carers, including a greater risk of poverty, social isolation and poor mental and physical health.

Several of our partner organisations are offering a variety of activities to support carers throughout the week. From coffee mornings to singing sessions, there's something for everyone.

A new leaflet for Carers

As part of Carers Week, we're pleased to share a new leaflet developed in collaboration with carers. 

This leaflet is designed to provide clear, supportive information to carers at what can often be a stressful or emotionally challenging time. It offers essential guidance to help carers feel more informed and supported while navigating their journey with the Trust.
