Its carers week 8th June to 14th June. Thank you to all carers for all you do. Please get in touch with Durham County Carers if you need any support

Carers Week 2026 8th - 14th June 📆

Offers an important opportunity to shine a light on the millions of unpaid Carers who support family members, friends, and neighbours every day. This year’s theme focuses on 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. Across the UK, Carers play a vital role in society, often balancing employment, education, and personal responsibilities alongside their caring duties. Yet many remain unseen and under-supported.

Carers Week is a time to change that, to ensure carers are recognised not just in words, but through meaningful action.

All events will be posted this upcoming week, keep a look out 👀

A reminder that Teesdale Community Nursing Team are getting muddy this June and raising money for cancer while remembering their much loved colleague Gemma. Please give if you can .

Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life to raise money and save lives. 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work.

are pleased to be supporting CDDFT Diabetic eye screening

👁️ Generous Support Enhances Diabetic Eye Screening Service

A huge thank you to the Friends of Richardson at Barnard Castle for generously funding new equipment for the Diabetic Eye Screening Programme.

Thanks to their support, a new slit lamp camera has been purchased, meaning patients will no longer need to travel to alternative sites for slit lamp examinations, improving access to care closer to home.

A slit lamp examination is a routine, painless eye test that helps clinicians diagnose a range of eye conditions, including cataracts and glaucoma.

We are incredibly grateful for the continued support from the Friends of Richardson, whose generosity makes a real difference to our patients and services. 💙
