[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Carers Week 2008 started Monday 9th June and ends Sunday 15th June.

As someone experiencing incontinence, there is a chance you have a carer, and this week is your chance to say ‘Thank You’ to them for all their support and hard work.

The Carers Week National Survey 2008, revealed some interesting facts on the effect caring can have with regards to their health, relationships, career and finances.

Carers Week is in its 14th year and is in partnership with 10 charities including Carers UK, Counsel and Care, Crossroads Caring for Carers, Macmillan Cancer Support, Help the Hospices and 5 others.

Many celebrities have pledged their support for Carers Week 2008, one of them being Tony Robinson, better known as Baldrick in Black Adder and as himself in Time Team:

“Carers are the unsung heroes and heroines of contemporary society, but the contribution they make is far too often ignored. Let's work together and demand the changes we need in order to make their lives better”.

In February 2007, the Government agreed to renew The National Strategy for Carers to improve their support and this week, the Government will be publishing the Strategy. We will be posting further information about the Strategy in the near future.

Money off vouchers for Superdrug and Carers Week bookmarks are now available direct to carers from the Carers Week website more...[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
