This Carer's Week (10-16 June) we’ve talked about the support available to you if you look after an adult. A carer is anyone who cares, unpaid, for an adult friend or family member who due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction cannot cope without their support.
There's lots going on during Carers Week (10-16 June) to support the thousands of carers across the borough
Carers Week, which runs from 6 to 12 June, is an annual campaign that recognises the vital contribution of the UK’s unpaid carers – supporting family members and friends who are older, have a disability, mental or physical illness or need extra help as they grow older.
Council leaders are saying a huge ‘thank you’ to the 200 young carers who look after our people and families.
