Carers Week has been the opportunity for many stars of stage, screen and sport to express their support and admiration for carers.
New statements of support have recently been made by Carers Week are Dame Judi Dench, Sir David Jason OBE and Jack Charlton OBE. The England football legend says:
"The UK’s six million carers come from all walks of life. They are stay-at-home parents, celebrities, and yes, even footballers. What they all have in common is their incredible hard work and dedication, many of them sacrificing all of their time to care for somebody in need. I’m proud to back Carers Week and the call for the support and recognition that carers deserve."
Many of our celebrity supporters have personal experience of caring, or have been touched by experiences of friends and family.
