Carers Week 2020

This week is Carers Week. You may have already seen (or even retweeted) posts and tweets from Warwickshire County Council – so thank you.

Have you had a virtual cuppa yet? Last week we talked about holding a virtual get together with friends and family to discuss what you think caring is all about in Warwickshire.

You could even hold a carer themed quiz, if anything at least it gives you a chance to sit down and have a natter.

A carer is a husband, wife, son or daughter, or friend who cares for loved ones who couldn’t cope without their help. The caring responsibility could be anything from doing everyday tasks as well as providing emotional support. Unpaid carers juggle work, kids and a homelife as well as having a caring responsibility. Caring can be rewarding but also very challenging. There is support available for those who care to maintain their wellbeing and Warwickshire County Council can help.

Please don’t feel you have to do it all on your own. For more information about services and groups who can help support you and your caring responsibility go to www.warwickshire.gov.uk/carers
