Carers Week 2026 takes place from Monday 8 to Sunday 14 June. This year the theme is Building Carer Friendly Communities highlighting the difference having places, spaces, services, and community groups where unpaid carers are recognised, understood and valued can make to their lives.
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.
