Carers rights day
21st November 2024
“Recognising your rights” is the new theme for Carers Rights Day, which will take place on Thursday 21st November 2024. This annually observed event in the UK is to raise awareness about the rights and challenges of unpaid family carers. The charity Carers UK, that supports unpaid carers, first established this event to provide valuable information and support to carers, also to understand their rights and access information and look at caregiving resources.
According to the charity figures there are 5.8 million unpaid carers in the UK caring for an ill, elderly or disabled relative or friend. With 12,000 people every day becoming unpaid carers many face huge challenges because of their caring role.
Carers UK will be providing expert information and advice sharing guidance on key places for carers to get the support they need.
