Carers Week 2026

Caring can be hugely rewarding but it can also have an impact on all aspects of your life. Having the right information and support for you and those you care for can make all the difference.

Carers Week takes place from 8th to 14th June, 2026 and is an annual awareness campaign run by Carers UK to celebrate and recognise the vital contribution made by the UK’s 5.8 million carers.

This year’s theme, ‘Building Carer Friendly Communities’, highlights how we can all contribute to making a meaningful difference to carers’ experiences.

Please visit the Carers Week website to find out more.
