Carers Week

Carers Week 2025 takes place from Monday 9th to Sunday 15th June. This year the theme is Caring About Equality highlighting the inequalities faced by unpaid carers, including a greater risk of poverty, social isolation, poor mental and physical health. Far too often, carers of all-ages miss out on opportunities in their education, careers, or personal lives, just because of their caring role.

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.

When you raise funds to support Caring Together Charity you are helping unpaid carers of all ages in your local community, including children and young people. For fundraising ideas you can take part in, check out our ideas below.

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.

Get involved in Carers Week 2025, and together let’s work towards an equal society, where carers are truly valued, recognised and supported!

If you are a local organisation or a Carer Friendly Tick Award holder and would like to take part, fundraise and raise awareness, please visit our Fundraising page below for ideas!
