Taking place from 5 June – 11 June, Carers Week is about recognising unpaid carers and their valuable contribution to our community. In Lambeth over 18,000 residents are looking after a friend, partner or family member who has an illness, disability, or addiction.
Carers Rights Day is taking place across the UK on 24 November. It seeks to raise awareness of the needs of unpaid carers, and to help ensure carers are aware of their rights and know where to get help and support.
The Lambeth Carers Card is a new initiative that has been designed to connect unpaid carers to helpful information and resources. Many of these carers still don’t know that help is available, so please share this information and help us spread the word!
