The new priorities include:

Make a Difference This

Around 30,000 unpaid carers are supporting loved ones across South Tees and many more of us will take on that role at some point in our lives.

This Carers Week (8–14 June 2026), you can show your support by taking the South Tees Carers Pledge. It only takes a few minutes, but it can help build understanding, raise awareness and create more carer friendly communities.
