It’s National Carers Week! Woo hoo!

This year’s UK-wide annual campaign celebrates the theme “Building Carer Friendly Communities,” championing the importance of recognising, understanding, and supporting unpaid carers in every part of life.
The aim is to shine a spotlight on the incredible contribution of the UK’s 5.8 million unpaid carers, while raising awareness and helping more people recognise themselves as carers and connect with the support available to them.

We have lots of fun activities this week for young and adult carers alike.
