As a part of Carers Week 2023, Rutland residents can take part in a range of activities taking place across the county this week.
Carers Week, 5th to 11th 2023, is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make. It also aims to help people who don't think of themselves as having caring responsibilities, to identify as carers and access support.
As such, Rutland County Council alongside local groups and organisations are hosting a selection of wellbeing and educational events throughout the week, some free and some chargeable:
