What’s happening on Carers Rights Day?
Carers Rights Day is a dedicated day to help people recognise that they are a Carer and to remind those already in a caring role what their rights are and what support is available. If you support someone in Birmingham who needs your help due to a disability, serious illness, frailty or addiction, Birmingham Carers Hub is here to help YOU. Whatever your unpaid caring role, you’ve come to the right place. We’re a partnership of local not-for-profits who have come together as Birmingham Carers Hub to provide a wide range of free support to help you in your caring role. We have activities and events throughout the year but we will be holding some special events to mark Carers Rights Day too.
