It's Carers Week 2026!

Carers Week is taking place all of this week across the UK. Established by Carers UK, Carers Week is an annual awareness campaign to celebrate and recognise the vital contribution made by the UK's 5.8 million carers.

As carersweek.org states:

"Our theme for Carers Week 2026 is Building Carer Friendly Communities. This will highlight the impact carer friendly communities can have in making a real and lasting difference to the lives of carers everywhere. The campaign will be brought to life by thousands of individuals and organisations taking action to ensure more communities understand, recognise, and empower carers."
