🤝 Carers Rights Day – Thursday 20 November
Theme: Know your rights, use your rights

Every day, 12,000 people become unpaid carers for a loved one—many don’t even realise they’re carers or know their legal rights.

This day is about:
✅ Raising awareness of carers’ rights
✅ Empowering carers to access support and benefits
✅ Making sure no carer feels alone

Get involved and help spread the word!
