Carers Week 2025

This year marks the 60th anniversary of Carers UK, an important milestone for which they have set three core goals to ensure carers are better valued:

• to create a society that requires carers to be treated equally in all aspects of their lives
• to connect carers so that no one has to care alone
• to halve the time it takes for carers to recognise themselves as carers and get the support they need.

What is Carers Week?

Carers Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK. It also helps people who don’t think of themselves as having caring responsibilities to identify as carers and access much-needed support.

The campaign is brought to life by thousands of individuals and organisations who come together to provide support for carers, run activities, highlight the vital role carers play in our communities and draw attention to just how important caring is.

This year, Carers Week 2025 is being held between Monday 9th June and Sunday 15th June!
