In 2008 the fourteenth annual Carers Week will highlight the impact caring can have on carers' health and wellbeing. 2,000 carers have already contributed to Carers Week by taking part in our annual survey, now well-established as the largest annual survey of carers experiences and opinions.
Carers Week is organised by ten leading charities who support the UK’s six million carers. Our key aims are for Carers Week to:
- Highlight and celebrate the contribution made by carers
- Campaign for better support and services for carers
- Promote policies and best practice that can improve carers’ quality of life
- Reach out to ‘hidden’ carers, ensuring they know where to find help and support

Majority of carers for our vulnerable seniors are dedicated and hardworking. They cannot afford to be ill. They deserve our understanding and support.
Well done carers! We trust your local community will do something this week, to let you know that you are valued.
