#ThankYouForCaring
“We are excited to coordinate Carers Week 2026. The theme of this year is 'Thank you for Caring'. Our objective is to recognise and celebrate the important work done by family carers across the country, to show them appreciation and to encourage wider society to recognise and celebrate the family carers in their families and communities. Carers Week 2026 will run from the 8th to the 14th June 2026. Together with our partner organisations we will endevour to make this an inclusive event for all family carers with online and in person events. Your care, commitment and compassion are seen and truly valued." #ThankYouForCaring
Liam O'Sullivan, (CEO, Care Alliance Ireland)

"The Irish Red Cross Booklet (HelpingYou Care), Battery pack and travel mug were great additions to this year's Carers Week"
"We held an event for Carer Advocates to mark Carers Week. Next year we hope to build on this and the number of carers who engage with our organisation."

"Went for lunch. Very enjoyable and got to meet new people I would not otherwise have had the opportunity to do so. Thank you."
"I won the phone ring, travel cup, carer book and pen. Amazing merchandise for sure, I would love the battery pack because I'd say it (is) brilliant"
