Carer Update - Latest Carer News and Events


Welcome to the latest edition of the Carer Update! As we gear up for Carers Week 2024 (10th- 16th June), we're thrilled to start announcing an array of exciting FREE events for you, our invaluable Unpaid Carers of Birmingham.

This year's theme is, "Putting Carers on the Map." It is estimated Carers save the economy £162 million a year- yet, many Carers feel their role is forgotten and invisible.

The theme is about raising awareness about the challenges Carers face which impact your finances, employment, health and wellbeing and ensuring policymakers and politicians take steps to better support Carers needs.

Below we have a timetable of how the week is looking so far. With a mix of wellbeing events, fun for all the family, awareness talks and cream tea's with live music; there will be an event suitable for everyone. And... they are happening all over the city!

Get ready to mark your calendars and join us in shining a spotlight on the incredible contributions of Carers across Birmingham! Keep your eyes peeled for more events & updates coming over the next few weeks.
