⏳ Less than two weeks to go until Carers Week 2026! ⏳

This year’s theme, Building Carer Friendly Communities, highlights the importance of recognising and supporting unpaid carers who make a huge difference every day.

Unpaid carers provide essential support to family members, friends, and neighbours living with illness, disability, mental health conditions, or age-related needs. They are the backbone of our communities, often balancing caring responsibilities alongside work, family life, and their own wellbeing.

Join us during Carers Week as we celebrate carers and raise awareness of the support they need and deserve. 💙

Find out more about local support for carers through the Carers Hub: https://www.carersandcommunities.org.uk/carershub

This Deaf Awareness Week, a member of our staff shares their
experiences as someone who is hard of hearing, shining a light on the everyday realities of communication challenges:

“From missing snippets of conversation in busy environments
to struggling with background noise on public transport, hearing loss can make communication a constant effort.

“Deaf Awareness Week reminds us of the importance of
understanding and supporting people with hearing loss.”

Their story highlights why awareness, understanding and
support matter so much 💙
