As carers, we know all too well that Carers Week is every week. We don’t want to add more to our ever-growing to-do list.
So here's a snapshot of what’s happening across the UK.
What’s on nationally for Carers Week?
Join our online Cuppas for carers
We're here for those looking after a family member or friend, across the UK. For Carers Week, we’ll be running online cuppas, with each day focusing on a different theme - from ways to put ourselves first, to a whole community approach.
They're 45 minutes long and there’s no need to register. Simply choose a time that suits you from our cuppa timetable, and join from the comfort of your home.
Oh - and don’t forget a cuppa if you fancy! ☕
