This year’s theme: Caring About Equality.
This week, we honour the invaluable contributions of unpaid carers across the UK.
Carers Week 2025 shines a spotlight on the inequalities they face, ranging from financial hardship and social isolation to limited access to education and employment opportunities.
Unpaid carers are the backbone of our society, providing essential support to family members, friends, and neighbours. Yet, many feel undervalued and unsupported – it’s time to change that!
How can you make a difference?
✅Acknowledge the carers in your life and community.
✅Advocate for policies that support carers’ rights and well-being.
✅Share your story or support messages using #CarersWeek and #CaringAboutEquality.
💬 Are you a carer? If so, let your GP surgery know.
Being registered as a carer means your healthcare team can better support you – with flexible appointments, health checks, and access to local services and advice.
Let’s work together to create a fairer society where carers are recognised, supported, and valued.
