It’s Carers Week 2026, 8–14 June, a time to recognise and celebrate the vital role unpaid carers play in our families, workplaces and communities.

This year’s theme is Building Carer Friendly Communities. Caring for someone can be rewarding, but it can also affect health, wellbeing, work and finances. No carer should feel they have to manage alone.

If you care for a family member, friend or neighbour, support may be available — including a carer’s assessment, local carers’ groups, respite breaks, advice on benefits, flexible working rights, and wellbeing support.

Know someone who cares? Take a moment this week to check in, say thank you, and help them find the support they deserve.

Explore these organisations that offer support, resources, and help for carers: Carers UK, Carers Trust, Making Space - Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Carer Support, Caring Together Charity, Centre 33 - supporting young people in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough

👏 First birthday of the Cambridgeshire Lottery, supporting amazing local causes. We would like to thank all our supporters!

It's our lottery's birthday week! 🎉

Cambridgeshire Community Lottery turns 1 tomorrow - and what better way to mark it than with some of the brilliant causes that have made the last twelve months so special.

We asked some of our lottery's causes to help us celebrate - (l-r) Something To Look Forward To, 3 Pillars Feeding The Homeless & Supporting the Community, Papworth Trust, Disability Huntingdonshire (DISH), St John the Baptist, Church End, Parson Drove, our very own CEO representing the Fund for Cambridgeshire (managed by our Foundation) and Ramsey Neighbourhoods Trust.

£20,000 - that's how much the lottery has raised for causes across Cambridgeshire in just its first year.

There's more to come to celebrate the lottery's first birthday... Keep an eye out for a special competition launching tomorrow 👀
