Have a Break, Have a Picnic

Summer's coming! Why don't you help us celebrate the 6 million carers in the UK by having a picnic with your friends and families during Carers Week 13 - 19 June.

Picnics are simple and fun; all you need is good food, fresh air, family and friends.

Your event could be as big or as small as you like; something at home in the back garden or a larger event bringing together your local community. You can be as creative as you want, it's simply a chance to get together with others and have a good time. We've got some great picnic ideas on our website, so do take a look

Download our poster and forward to your family and friends to hopefully inspire them to also get involved too.

Carers Week is about celebrating the contribution that carers make. With the help of thousands of carers and local organisations who support carers, the aim this year is to reach out to even more carers who currently don't know about or have access to the support and services available to them.

As we are one of the key partners this year in Carers Week, we'd like you to register your event on the Carers Week website to be a part of celebrating carers of people with dementia up and down the country. You can also use the website to find other events that may be happening in your area.

Fundraise for us

We'd also love for you to take this opportunity to fundraise for Dementia UK to help us to continue supporting our work in further developing Admiral Nurses. Hold a picnic or any other fun event in the month of June to raise money for Dementia UK. Take a look at our Community Fundraising Pack for ideas or email fundraising@dementiauk.org

Do get in touch with us to let us know what you have planned, how it went and to send us any money that you raise. If you have any questions about Carers Week please contact Faradane O'Callaghan, Communications Project Officer 0207 874 7203 or by email faradane.ocallaghan@dementiauk.org
