The annual campaign to raise awareness of caring starts today.
Today we publish ‘Building Carer Friendly Communities: a blueprint’, setting out our vision for creating communities where unpaid carers are recognised, valued and supported.
The blueprint offers practical guidance on how to create carer friendly communities across health, social care, education, employment, business and services, and out and about in the wider community.
Find out how you and the communities you’re part of can create lasting change for unpaid carers.
Read and share the blueprint today: https://carersuk.pulse.ly/iphejcurp9
Carers Week is made possible through Carers UK working together with six other major charities: Age UK Carers Trust The Lewy Body Society ME Association MND Association Rethink Mental Illness
