Thursday 20th November 2025
Carers Rights Day is a national campaign led by Carers UK, dedicated to making sure unpaid Carers know their rights and have access to the support and information they need.
This year’s theme is “Caring for Your Future” – a reminder that your wellbeing, financial security, and personal goals matter. Whether you’re thinking about work, education, benefits, or simply taking care of yourself, this day is all about helping you plan ahead and feel confident about the future.

Coproduction Workshop – Help Shape Hospital Experiences
As part of the event, you’re invited to take part in a coproduction workshop.
We’re hosting a carousel-style workshop to explore and build on our ongoing work around hospitalisation experiences and to look at new areas, including the evaluation of the co-production project, engagement approaches, and the identification and characterisation of carers.
You’ll move through a series of hands-on sessions, each designed to spark conversation, reflection, and collaboration around these different areas. It’s a chance to share your insights, help shape next steps, and connect with others working across different parts of the project.
🍽️ A free lunch will be provided for workshop participants.
📌 Booking is essential, and please let us know about any dietary requirements when you register.
