Carers Week 9-15th June 2025
Carers Week is an annual campaign helping to raise awareness and support for unpaid carers in the UK.
The campaign, which is supported by various organisations (e.g. Age UK, Carers Trust, Carers UK, The ME Association, MND Association, Oxfam, Rethink Mental Illness and The Lewy Body Society), recognises the huge contribution that unpaid carers make to society, highlighting how important caring is and helping carers to identify themselves as carers and if needed access information and support.
Carers Week takes place from Monday 9th June – Sunday 15th June 2025.
This year’s theme is ‘Caring About Equality’ and activities and communications will focus on different themes throughout Carers Week:
Monday – Health and social care
Tuesday – Financial wellbeing
Wednesday – Work and employment
Thursday – Younger carers
Friday – Older carers
Saturday – Mental health and wellbeing
Sunday – Reflections on Carers Week
