Carers Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK.

It also helps people who don’t think of themselves as having caring responsibilities to identify as carers and access much-needed support.

This year, people across the country are continuing to face new challenges as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. Many people are taking on more caring responsibilities for their relatives and friends who are disabled, ill or older and who need support

The campaign is brought to life by thousands of individuals and organisations who come together to provide support for carers, run activities and highlight the vital role carers play in our communities, drawing attention to just how important caring is.

We hope you are keeping well and safe and that you have been able to connect with friends and family in some way over the past few months.

Here at Caxton Hall, we continue to listen to the advice from the Government, the local authority and Public Health advisors. We are keen to see you back at Caxton Hall but we also need to be mindful of everyone’s safety. In the meantime, we have been looking at different ways to continue some of the activities and social interaction we all enjoyed before lock-down and we are delighted to invite you to visit our new digital community centre Caxton Online.

Caxton Online is a website that has been purpose built for you – it has all the latest news, a library of things to do and watch and a continually growing schedule of group activities for you to join in. Most of these are on-line at the moment but we will be scheduling some outdoor activities in the near future.

Don’t worry if you don’t feel confident using the internet – we can help with that – reply to this email to let us know and we’ll be in touch. Otherwise, we look forward to meeting you in the virtual world!!
