Carers week

Carers Week 2026

Shropshire Council’s carers support team has organised a range of events and competitions to recognise and support unpaid and family carers in the community.

Shropshire Council is inviting carers to join in the celebrations of Carers Week 2026, an annual campaign to raise awareness of unpaid carers, and to help people who don’t think of themselves as having caring responsibilities to identify as carers and access much-needed support.

The theme for this year’s carers week focuses on the power of Building Carer Friendly communities and the real, lasting difference they can make to the lives of unpaid carers.

Carers week is our opportunity to say thank you to all unpaid and family carers in Shropshire.  We do recognise and appreciate the valuable support carers give others
