Dudley Council is supporting National Carers Week 2023 by saying ‘I Care’ to raise awareness of the role of unpaid carers in our communities and to encourage people who don’t think of themselves as having caring responsibilities to identify as carers and access much needed information, advice and support from Dudley Carers Hub. National Carers Week is running from June 5 – 11, this year.  The campaign is brought to life by people and organisations who come together to provide support for carers, run activities, highlight the vital role carers play and draw attention to just how important caring is. This year Carers Week will be aiming to get people to recognise the huge contribution unpaid carers make to society. As part of this Dudley Carers Hub is hosting a whole programme of activities and events to support carers and highlight the crucial role that carers play.
