Carers Week

Haringey Carers Week Programme 2012

Carers Week is from 18 - 24 June and is a celebration of the contribution made by carers.  The national theme, 'In Sickness and In Health’, highlights the impact the caring role can have on the health and wellbeing of carers.

Planning for Carers Week in Haringey is underway and a variety of organisations across the borough are planning activities for carers during the week.  See the listing below.

We will be adding events to the listing as we hear about them.  If you are an organisation planning on hosting an event or activity during Carers Week and would like your event publicised on the website, please contact Reneé Taylor via email carers@haringey.gov.uk
