Carers Week is taking place from 7-13 June and this year’s theme is ‘Make Caring Visible and Valued’.

Carers Week is a UK-wide annual campaign which aims to:
• Work collaboratively with partners to raise awareness of caring
• Highlight the challenges unpaid carers face
• Recognise the contribution carers make

Help us make caring visible and valued

VOCAL is offering our partners the opportunity to engage with a whole host of planned activities. We need your help to make caring visible and valued across you workplace, organisation, community and/or networks. Here are five ways you can support carers this Carers Week:
