Carers UK marks 60 years by highlighting the challenges faced by 5.8 million unpaid carers who contribute £184 billion annually.

Carers UK, celebrating 60 years in 2025, aims to highlight the struggles of 5.8 million unpaid UK carers, who provide £184 billion worth of care annually but face higher rates of health issues and poverty.

The charity's anniversary events, including Carers Week in June and the 25th Carers Rights Day in November, will advocate for greater equality and support for carers.
