Carers Week is an annual national campaign to raise awareness of caring. It aims to highlight the challenges that unpaid carers face, recognise the valuable contribution carers make to our communities and to support people who do not think of themselves as a carer to recognise themselves as one and access support.
This year, the theme is ‘recognising and supporting carers in the community’.
Throughout the week, organisations supporting carers will be heading out into the community to find hidden carers and raise awareness of the support available locally. They also have also planned a programme of events for carers to get involved with.

Young carers
If you are a young carer, there is help and support for you through the Young Carers Service. They can talk to you and try to help work out what support you and your family might need.
