Glasgow supports Carers Week 2025 with new video and Carer Strategy

From 10 to 16 June, we celebrated Carers Week to highlight the importance of Glasgow’s unpaid carers.

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. This year’s theme, ‘Caring About Equality’, shined a light on the significant inequalities unpaid carers face, from increased risks of poverty and poor health to social isolation and a lack of access to opportunities.

Unpaid carers sought to help shape the future of health and social care

Our Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) is proud to be working alongside the University of Strathclyde and Lanarkshire Carers in a new initiative aimed at strengthening the support, recognition, and training available to Scotland’s unpaid carers.

More than 800,000 unpaid carers in Scotland look after a loved one due to illness, disability or age-related frailty. As the population ages and health and care services face growing pressures, carers are playing an increasingly vital – but often overlooked – role in keeping our communities going.
