Carers Week is held annually and this year, it starts from June 9-15 in 2025. It raises awareness of the challenges unpaid carers face and celebrates their vital contributions to families and communities.

The week aims to help people identify as carers, understand available support, and encourage them to seek help. While focused on the UK, the issues carers face are global, particularly in countries with less support. This year the theme is 'Caring About Equality' highlighting the inequalities faced by unpaid carers, including a greater risk of poverty, social isolation, poor mental and physical health.

The NHS England Unpaid Carers team will be running a series of webinars during the week to highlight the importance of identifying and supporting unpaid carers.

Our fourth session of the week under the theme Young Carers is Supporting Young Carers and their families at Care Planning. This presentation by Family Action will focus on how to best support Young Carers and their families at Care Planning rather than at crisis stage. This will be presented by Sarah Collin and Stacey Warren (Family Action), with Lily Durbin, a Young Carer and Lived Experience Partner with NHS England, chairing the session.

Note that registration opens at 5pm on 13th May and closes on Wednesday 11th June at 5pm.

Please do share with your networks, the agenda and link to webinar will follow later.
