Carers Week 2024!
May 23rd 2024, By April BlackHello and welcome to our special Carers Week 2024.
Carers week is an annual awareness campaign to celebrate and recognise the vital contribution made by the UK’s 5.7 million carers, and runs from 10th to 16th June, celebrating and saying “thank you” to our unpaid carers. The week is designed to make caring more visible and this year’s theme is “putting carers on the map”, aiming to make sure that the voices of unpaid carers are heard by politicians, employers, service providers, educational establishments, journalists and throughout our communities.
Most events must be booked, either by phoning or emailing the carers centre. Due to number restrictions, we suggest you book early. All events are free and refreshments will be available. We will also open waiting lists for events should they become full, so if someone drops out at the last minute, we can fill spaces.
For events organised by partner organisations it will clearly say whether booking is required and if so who to contact.
Please be aware that due to anticipated popularity you can only choose to attend either “pool, darts and dominoes” or “the football event”.
