Carers Rights Day takes place on Thursday 21 November! This year’s theme, 'recognising your rights', is all about empowering carers to make sure they know about the rights and entitlements they have as a carer.
Every day, 12,000 people across the UK become unpaid carers for a partner, family member or a friend – many of whom don’t see themselves as carers, often unaware of their legal rights and what they’re entitled to in terms of support and benefits. This year’s theme is ‘recognising your rights’ – and our aim is to help carers recognise and understand their rights, and to access the support available to them, whenever they need it.
Head to the Riverfront on the 21st for a day of interactive events and stalls from organisations who are here to help you in your vital role as a carer
