💙 Carers Week 2026 💙

This week, we’re proud to recognise and celebrate Carers Week, a national campaign that shines a light on the incredible contribution of unpaid carers across our communities.

Every day, thousands of people provide vital support to loved ones, helping them to live independently and stay connected to the things that matter most. Their commitment, compassion and resilience make a real difference.

At Sunderland Care and Support, we also want to take this opportunity to recognise our own support workers and care colleagues.

Our teams work alongside families and carers every day providing professional care, building trusted relationships, and supporting people to live fulfilling, independent lives. Their role is essential in strengthening the network of care around each individual.

👏 To all carers - both unpaid and within our workforce - thank you.

Your impact cannot be overstated, and we are proud to stand alongside you.
