Carers Week

Carers Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK. Unpaid carers should be valued and respected by everyone in our society, and carers should have the information and support they need.

We are planning many activities across the week and will be advertising them in our May newsletter. If you would like to receive a copy of this please complete the online registration here https://www.improvinglivesplymouth.org.uk/our-services/caring-for-carers/cfc-newsletters/signup or email us on caringforcarers@improvinglivesplymouth.org.uk and ask us to add your email address so that you can receive the e-newsletter.

Carers Rights Day

In November, every year Caring for Carers run a national day called Carers Rights Day to focus on raising awareness of the rights that unpaid carers have. Although this day is a very important day, we believe that carers rights should be represented every day of the year. Caring can be hard work - physically and emotionally.

We will be running a day packed full of activities for all carers, trying to raise the awareness of the rights thata unpaid carers have. We will be advertising all of this via our newsletter, so if you would like to receive a copy of this please complete the online registration here https://www.improvinglivesplymouth.org.uk/our-services/caring-for-carers/cfc-newsletters/signup or email us on
