Carers Rights Day 2017

Carers UK launch new guide to mark Carers Rights Day 2017.

Pears Foundation

27th November 2017

Carers Rights Day brings organisations across the UK together to help carers in their local community know their rights and find out how to get the help and support they are entitled to. Many who help look after a family member or friend don’t think of themselves as a carer, and therefore miss out on much needed support. To mark Carers Rights Day 2017, Carers UK has published a new guide “Looking after someone.”

This guide can be found here.
