Carers Rights Day: empowering unpaid carers

Every year on Carers Rights Day, organisations around the UK shine a much-needed spotlight on the hidden workforce in society: the unpaid carers who dedicate time and energy to supporting their loved ones.

Across the UK, unpaid carers are the heart of communities. This Carers Week (5-11 June 2023), it’s time to recognise their vital contribution and highlight both local and national sources of support.

Becoming a carer for your partner or loved one can change the way your relationship works. We speak to one carer about her experience and how her caring role has affected her marriage.





Recognising invisible carers

Three carers discuss the need for recognition, more support and what changes they want to see going forward from the pandemic.



Carers: Knowing your rights

800,000 people across the UK rely on home visits from carers to provide essential daily care. Many more are cared for by their family, who do so unpaid.



Watch as the UK comes together to #ClapForOurCarers
