Today marks the start of carers week, we have made a conscious decision not to bang drums, ring bells or shout it from the roof tops! Every week is carers week for our families caring for a family member with a learning disability, this week is no different.
What we will do this week is share things that we think are relevant starting with the report No Choice But To Care: “Millions of unpaid carers across the UK provide support to a family member, friend or neighbour due to a disability, illness or frailty due to old age. Yet a majority of unpaid carers have no choice but to take on a caring role. While providing unpaid care can be rewarding, it also comes with significant negative impacts on carersโ lives.”

Essex Carers Network supports the annual Carers Week campaign. However every week is carers week for our families caring for a family member with a learning disability, and this week is no different.
We support family carers throughout the whole year. ๐ฅฐ
