We're supporting Carers Rights Day 2020
We're supporting Carers Rights Day 2020, which takes place on Thursday 26 November 2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted every aspect of caring, affecting carers’ access to support and services, and their physical and mental health.
Many are caring for the first time, while those who’ve been caring for a while are facing greater challenges and pressures than ever before. It’s never been more important for carers to be informed and know their rights.
Each year, Carers Rights Day helps to;
- Ensure carers are aware of their rights
- Let carers know where to get help and support
- Raise awareness of the needs of carers.
- Get information on your rights as a carer, and an overview of the practical and financial support available (opens in new window) >
Local events
There are a variety of events happening across Derbyshire and Derby to mark Carers Rights Day 2020. The events provide an opportunity for unpaid / family carers to get support and information to help them during the pandemic and beyond.
