Carers Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK.
Petition to improve identification of young carers who are juggling their caring with education
Carol Hayward is one of many young adults who know what it is like to be a carer as well as a student. She is campaigning to get UCAS forms changed so that universities can get information from applicants about whether they care, unpaid, for someone who has an illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction. This change would mean that universities can give carers extra information when they apply to university 
and when they start their course. To sign this petition to improve early identification of young carers who are keen to pursue further education, visit: http://bit.ly/1pjWe4T
Your Upfront guide to caring
Help capture those carers who are hidden from view and those who are new to caring: reassure them that no one needs to care alone. This is a simple tool for carers who are new to the maze of benefits and entitlements. Fill in your details, spend a couple of minutes answering questions and we'll guide you to the information you need. Visit: https://www.carersuk.org/upfront/ 
Jointly
If you are an employer or service provider with employees juggling work with caring, you may want to consider offering them an Application called Jointly, which is an innovative product especially useful for those carers who are sharing the care with other family members, friends or neighbours. It comes at a one-of payment of £2.99, for more information, email: [email protected].
