Prepared to Care? – the 2013 Carers Week campaign – will focus on how the UK’s current carer population is coping, how effectively Government is supporting the growing numbers of carers, and whether the wider population is prepared for future caring responsibilities.
Carers Week is Monday 10 to Sunday 16 June 2013.
Many events will be running throughout the country so keep an eye out for what is happening near you. Crossroads Care Cambridgeshire will be attending events and they will be published on the Events page.
The annual Carers Week survey is available to complete here.
The Carers Week partners would be really grateful if you could spend up to 30 minutes sharing your experiences as a carer. The findings of this survey will be incorporated into a report that will be published to announce the start of Carers Week 2013 and identify recommendations that the campaign will focus on in 2014 and 2015.
Carers Week is delivered by a partnership of charities: Age UK, Carers Trust, Carers UK, Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie Cancer Care, MS Society and Parkinson’s UK. It is supported by Independent Age, the Stroke Association and Carewell. It is sponsored by Sainsbury’s plc and Skills for Care.
