Carers Week 2026 | 8–14 June

This Carers Week, our Devon carers service is joining organisations across Devon to celebrate and recognise the incredible contribution unpaid carers make to families, friends and communities every day.

This year's theme, "Building Carer Friendly Communities", highlights the importance of creating places where carers feel valued, understood and supported.

Many people don't identify themselves as carers, yet they provide essential support to someone who couldn't manage without them. Carers Week is an opportunity to raise awareness of caring, recognise the challenges carers face, and help more people access the support available to them.

Throughout the week, we'll be hosting information stands, Carer Connection events and awareness activities across Devon, alongside our Carer Friendly Devon supporters. Plus, carers can enjoy free entry to a number of National Trust properties across the county with a guest during the week.

Take a look at the graphic below (or visit the link below) to find out what's happening near you and join us in saying a huge thank you to Devon's unpaid carers.
