Each year Carers UK promotes Carers Rights Day where hundreds of organisations and thousands of individuals raise awareness of caring, helping to identify carers and signposting them to information, advice and support.

This year, Carers Rights Day was
Thursday 21st November 2024

This year’s theme was ‘recognising your rights’.

You have a right to a healthy life, and we are here to support you in that.

We held an Information Day on the 21st November at our Carers Link community facility in Accrington.

We:
- raised £100 in fundraising which will go towards our continuous support for our registered unpaid carers
- did 7 blood pressure checks
- did 18 mini ECGs, which resulted in 2 referrals to GP for potential heart conditions identified
- hosted external organisations to provide additional advice and support to those in a caring role
