Carers Week
9th - 15th June 2025
Carers Week is a national campaign to raise awareness of
caring, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities.
This year the theme is 'Caring About Equality' highlighting the inequalities sometimes faced by unpaid carers. Far too often, carers of all-ages miss out on opportunities in their education, careers, or personal lives, just because of their caring role.
Get involved in Carers Week 2025, and together let’s work towards an equal society, where carers are truly valued, recognised and supported.
Carers Week 2025 Events
You’re Invited! Let’s celebrate Carers Week together.
To recognise and celebrate everything you do, we’ve planned a range of special events, both online and in-person…just for carers. It’s a chance to take a well-earned break, connect with others, and enjoy some time for yourself.
We’d love for you to join us. Spaces are limited and allocated on a first come, first served basis, so please book early to avoid missing out.
Before booking, we kindly ask that you take a moment to read our booking etiquette, listed below here, to help make sure everyone has a fair chance to attend.
Booking etiquette:
We’d love for as many carers as possible to enjoy our Carers Week activities. To help make this happen, please book just one activity (excluding groups and online events) initially. Feel free to check back a week before to see if any extra spaces become available.
We understand that plans can change. If you’re unable to attend an event, please let us know. This helps us plan refreshments and materials, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Thank you for your support.

The value of Carers Week
The impact of Carers Week extends beyond the campaign’s duration. It sparks a long-lasting movement for change, inspiring individuals, communities, and organisations to continue supporting and advocating for carers’ rights. We know that there are 19 million people in the UK who provide unpaid care – but haven’t identified as a carer. People are far more likely to register themselves for support if encouraged by a friend or family member or a health and social care professional. With some people taking up to 1 year to recognise that they are in a caring role.
We would like to thank everyone who is involved in celebrating and supporting carers in our county.
