About this event

We are delighted to inform you, that as part of Carers Week 2024, again in partnership we are holding our second carers roadshow.

 

The theme for Carers Week 2024 is 'Putting carers on the map'. 

 

A staggering 82% of carers surveyed by Carers UK said the impact of caring on their physical and mental health would be a challenge over the coming year, with nearly 60% adding that being valued as a carer would improve their wellbeing.

 

"We want carers to know they are not forgotten, and that the community supports them. The support unpaid carers provide day in day out has been valued as the equivalent of a second NHS, but often carers tell us that they feel unseen and so this is a way to give back a little. Last year, the roadshow supported over 400 people received on the carer’s roadshow day, from everyone who attended across health and care and voluntary services. This ignited building stronger networks together. Let’s put our carers on the map again this year”.  

 

We ask if you can spread this across your networks and hope you may be able to attend.
