Carers Rights Day 2025 Information Event

Carers Rights Day is all about raising awareness of the rights the UK’s 5.8 million unpaid carers are entitled to, and to help them get the support they need and the recognition they deserve – this year’s theme is ‘Know your rights, use your rights.’

To raise awareness of help available, we are holding a special event at Beaverbrooks House. Come along and meet staff from Blackpool Carers Centre, Citizens Advice and other organisations offering support to carers. You can find out about our respite activities and even join in with Strictly Fit Dance for fun and exercise at 1.30pm!

Every day, 12,000 people become unpaid carers for a partner, family member or a friend – many of whom don’t see themselves as carers, often unaware of their legal rights and what they’re entitled to in terms of support and benefits.

Carers should not have to miss out on support designed to reduce some of the pressures caring can bring. Whether they care 24/7 or juggle care with work and family life, are new to caring or have been for many years, and wherever they live in the UK – all carers deserve to understand their rights and be supported to use them if they wish.
