Carers Week runs from June 6th to June 12, and is an annual campaign to raise awareness of the challenges unpaid carers face.
This Carers Week, Carers UK and the other charities involved this year are calling for the UK Government to publish a Recovery and Respite Plan for Unpaid Carers – outlining additional support for carers across a range of areas, including: breaks, respite and care services, infection control, identification of carers, financial help, and support to help people juggle work alongside their caring responsibilities.
To support this campaign, you can sign and share this open letter from Carers UK, and find out more information here.
