Carers Week is one of the most important carer awareness-raising campaigns in the calendar. This year's theme for Carers Week is 'Putting Carers on the Map'.
To mark such an important week, we have 5 simple actions that you could take this Carers Week to show your support for young carers and to help put carers on the map. Whether it is committing to taking practical and meaningful action through signing the Young Carers Covenant, or making a referral to our M-PACT Programme, any way in which you can support young carers this Carers Week goes a lot further than you might think. Even just sharing these 5 actions with your family or friends helps to spread awareness.
If you have any other thoughts or ideas for how you could support young carers during Carers Week and beyond, please get in touch and we'll have a chat with you about this.
