Pledge your support for Carers Week

Posted on June 8, 2020

To mark Carers Week (8 – 14 June), we’re celebrating the contribution carers make to families and communities across Oxfordshire.

A carer is someone who provides care and support to a family member or someone who has a disability, mental or physical illness, or who needs extra help as they grow older. There are around 6.5 million carers in the UK, looking after older, seriously ill or disabled people.

This year, people across the country are continuing to face new challenges as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. Many people are taking on more caring responsibilities for those who need support, in complex and different ways. This may include helping with personal care or practical tasks like shopping, running errands and cooking. Care also involves emotional support or supervision.

Carers need to be recognised for the difficulties they are experiencing and respected for all they are doing because there are a lot of people who are unpaid to perform carer duties. What will you do to recognise, support and celebrate carers? You can pledge your support for carers today.

We’re celebrating carers in all scenarios and their valuable contribution to Oxfordshire communities…
