Carers Week 2024: Celebrating Unpaid Carers in Wiltshire
Carers Week is a time to recognise and celebrate the incredible contributions of unpaid carers in our community. From saving the economy millions to providing essential care for loved ones, Carers play a vital role. This year’s theme, “Putting Carers on the Map,” aims to raise awareness about the challenges they face and ensure better support for their needs.
Here’s how you can get involved online if you are unable to attend in-person events.
Online Carers Coffee Catch-ups
