Carers Week 2025

Whilst Carer’s Week comes to an end on Sunday, the work of unpaid carers continues around the clock. If you, or someone you know is an unpaid carer, there’s plenty of information available on the Talk Community Directory. There’s lots of regular events for carers featured on our what’s on calendar, with lots added this week.

In Herefordshire, unpaid carers on a low income who provide more than 35 hours of care per week may be eligible for a one-off payment as part of the Household Support Fund (Funded by UK Government). You can read more about eligibility and how to apply on the Herefordshire Council website.
