Carers Week, 10th – 16th June 2024
Putting Carers on the Map
This Carers Week we are celebrating the amazing carers in East Sussex, thanking them for everything they do. Carers Week is also an important time to raise awareness of caring, and it highlights the challenges that unpaid carers face.
This year, Carers Week takes place from 10th -16th June. The week celebrates and recognises the vital contribution made by the UK’s 5.7 million unpaid carers – over 69,000 in East Sussex – who look after a relative, friend or neighbour who couldn’t manage without them.
Find out more about what’s going on and download resources on our Carers Week 2024 page.
This year’s focus is ‘Putting Carers on the Map’, and we’re asking carers and the community to come together, to share views and take some time out throughout the week. Carers and their friends and family, partner organisations and local businesses can all get involved to recognise and celebrate carers, show support, and help to ‘put carers on the map’.
