This year’s Carers Week takes place from 8th – 14th June. To mark the 50th Anniversary of Carers UK, Sainsbury’s Newport Isle of Wight has invited in a number of local carers charities into the store to mark this milestone.
Highlighting the challenges carers face
Run by Carers UK, Carers Week is an annual event designed to help raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK. Sainsbury’s has proudly supported Carers UK for five years.
Across the week, Stroke Association, Age UK, YMCA & Dementia Society will be in store to talk to customers and colleagues about the work they do and to share details of support that is available for carers.
