This year, Carers Rights Day is on Thursday 21 November 2024 – and this year’s theme is recognising your rights.
If you’re an unpaid carer, or if you are interested in the campaign, please see poster with details of the local Carers Rights Day event taking place in Spennymoor on 18th November.
Every day, 12,000 people 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.
