Carers Week runs from 8 - 14 June 2026, with this year’s theme, ‘Building Carer Friendly Communities’, highlighting the importance of creating supportive communities and the difference this can make to carers’ lives.
👥 In Leeds, there are over 61,500 unpaid carers supporting a friend or family member. Carers Week is our chance to shine a light on their vital contribution and make caring visible across our city.
Throughout the week, Carers Leeds will be working across communities, workplaces, and health and social care settings to connect carers with support and opportunities. Our programme includes a money guidance workshop, a bereaved carers’ trip to St Aidan’s RSPB reserve, and attendance at events across the city.
💙 Across Leeds, unpaid carers play a vital role in supporting family members, friends and loved ones, yet many still face challenges that can impact their health, wellbeing and daily lives. Carers Week 2026 is highlighting the importance of creating carer-friendly communities -places where carers are recognised, understood, and supported.
As part of Carers Week, Carers Leeds is hosting a free, in-person money-saving workshop for unpaid carers.
💡 This friendly and interactive session will bring carers together to share practical hints, tips and ideas for saving money during the current cost of living challenges.
