It’s a national event when unpaid carers are encouraged to learn about their rights and we all work towards ensuring carers get all the support they need.
Across the week around Carers Rights Day (from Monday 18th till Saturday 23rd), Action for Carers Surrey are running Carer Information Fairs, focusing on carers’ rights, across Surrey.
