Join us for Carers Rights Day – Thursday 20th November
Did you know that 12,000 people in the UK become unpaid carers for a partner, family member or friend every day?
Many don’t see themselves as unpaid carers and are often unaware of their legal rights and what they’re entitled to in terms of support and benefits.
Carers Rights Day aims to highlight the invaluable role of unpaid carers and ensure that they are aware of their rights, so that they don’t miss out on support designed to reduce some of the pressures caring can bring.
Whether they care 24/7 or juggle care with work and family life, are new to caring or have been for many years, all carers deserve to understand their rights and be supported to use them if they wish. The theme of this year’s campaign is: ‘Know your rights, use your rights’.
Join us and other organisations on Carers Rights Day!
We will be running information events along with other organisations across the county of Devon to give carers the chance to chat face-to-face and find out the support that is available to them. To find out more about where we will be and when, click the button below.
