Carers Week 2020: Making caring visible

 

Carers Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring and

  • highlight the challenges unpaid carers face
  • recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK
  • help people who don’t think of themselves as having caring responsibilities to identify as carers and access much-needed support.

People with ME want to say thank you to everyone who helps them when they need support!

We want to make Caring Visible to help carers get the information and support they need. This guide outlines 10 steps to help carers think about the support they might need:

Are you looking after someone unpaid?: essential information for unpaid carers

Ydych chi’n gofalu ar ôl rhywun yn ddi-dâl?: gwybodaeth bwysig I ofalwyr di-dâl

Learning for Living – using your skills

The free interactive e-learning programme, Learning for Living, helps carers develop greater understanding of the unique skills and knowledge they use on a day-to-day basis in their caring role, and how they can transfer these skills to the workplace. Available in Welsh or English.
