About Supporting Parents & Carers

Make Carers Count

Every year Usdaw organises a campaign day to support members who are parents and carers.

This year’s Supporting Parents and Carers campaign takes place on Wed 26 June 2024.

The focus of our campaign is 'Making Carers Count'.

How this helps you

This year we want to use Spotlight Day to:

  • Raising awareness of the rights carers have at work.
  • Highlighting the impact on carers’ incomes of the cost of living crisis.
  • Finding out more about the problems members’ have juggling paid work with their unpaid care commitments.
  • Campaigning for changes to benefits so that they better support carers.
