Caring for Someone in Luton? This Week is for You.
09–13 June 2025 | A week of free events, support, and recognition for unpaid carers
Caring can be constant. Invisible. Exhausting. And yet, it is done with love.
If you look after a family member, friend or neighbour, whether full-time or occasionally, we want to say one thing: this week is for you.
Carers Week 2025 is a national celebration of unpaid carers. In Luton, we are marking it with a week of free events designed to give you the recognition, support and space you deserve.
From creative workshops to wellbeing sessions, and from practical advice to the chance to simply take a breath… there is something for everyone.

Why This Week Matters?
There are thousands of unpaid carers in Luton and many more who don’t even identify as carers yet. Whether you are new to caring or have been doing it for years, Carers Week is about being seen, heard, and supported.
It is also about community: connecting with people who get it, and finding out what help is available so you are not doing this alone.
