Hello to all! National Carers week is coming up on 5th - 11th June and we want to shout about it!! We have fantastic carers working for us around the clock to make sure they are providing individuals with person centred care so that they can remain at home. We as an agency in Ipswich provide live in care. Many carers who do care for others are not employed to do so and care for a loved one without actually realising they are a carer, hence the creation of carers week.
''Carers Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring and helps people who don't think of themselves as having caring responsibilities, to identify as carers and access much-needed support. The theme for Carers Week 2023 is 'Recognising and supporting carers in the community'. This Carers Week, we want communities across the UK to come together to recognise the huge contribution unpaid carers make to society.''
