The Wokingham Carers Partnership is organising a series of free/low cost events to celebrate Carers Week 2025 (9th to 13th June).
Carers Week is organised every year by Carers UK and Carers Trust, with a different theme each year drawing attention to issues facing unpaid carers across the UK.
The theme for this year’s national campaign is about ‘caring about equality’ and aims to highlight the inequalities faced by unpaid carers.
The following events are being held locally:
- Carers Walk – California County Park, Finchampstead, Monday 9th June, 1pm to 3pm.
- Cream Tea on the Thames – Caversham Pier, Richfield Avenue, Reading, Tuesday 10th June. Enjoy a cruise on the Caversham Princess and a cream tea while you take in the view. Arrive for 10.30am for an 11am departure, arriving back in Caversham at 1pm. A non-refundable deposit of £10 will need to be paid and spaces are limited. This trip is being subsidised by Wokingham Borough Council.
- Information Day – Loddon Hall, Twyford, Wednesday 11th June, 3.30pm to 7pm. There will be stands offering information and support from a range of local organisations.
