💜 CARERS WEEK 2026 💜
Have you ever stopped to think about just how many people spend their days caring for a loved one, friend or neighbour?
Across Washington, hundreds of unpaid carers quietly provide support every single day. They help loved ones through illness, disability, ageing and additional needs, often putting someone else’s wellbeing before their own.
Caring can bring moments of joy and fulfilment, but it can also be exhausting, emotional and sometimes isolating. Too often, the incredible work carers do goes unnoticed.
This Carers Week, we simply want to say thank you.
Thank you for the early mornings, the late nights, the appointments, the phone calls, the reassurance, the patience and the endless compassion you show every day.
Your dedication helps people stay independent, connected and cared for. It strengthens families, supports communities and changes lives.
To every unpaid carer in Washington: we see you, we value you, and we appreciate everything you do.
Please join me in recognising and thanking the carers in our community. 💜
