CARERS in Coventry and Warwickshire are being offered support and advice at an event next month.
Carers Trust Heart of England will host its biggest event of the year at the Coventry Building Society Arena, to mark Carers Week 2026.
The event will bring together carers, families and community organisations from across the region to celebrate the contribution made by carers of all ages, while offering practical support and advice.
Attendees can speak with Day Break and Regulated Care teams about respite services, meet Adult Wellbeing and Young Carers teams, and access guidance for young adult carers aged 18-25 transitioning into adulthood.
Local partners, including Warwickshire County Council and Coventry City Council, will be on hand to share information on services available across the region.
The free, family-friendly event will also include arts and crafts, stadium tours, and opportunities to connect with others. SEN-suitable spaces, free parking, and refreshments will be available.
Claire Dale, Carers Trust Heart of England CEO, said: “This is our biggest event of the year and a unique chance to recognise carers across Coventry and Warwickshire while connecting them with the support they need.
“This year we are supporting the national theme of Building Carer Friendly Communities, and asking the all-important questions: ‘When did you first realise you were a carer? And ‘What does Carers Trust HofE mean to you?’”
Carers Week is a UK-wide campaign to raise awareness of unpaid carers and increase their visibility with decision makers, services, employers, and communities.
This year’s theme, ‘Building Carer Friendly Communities’, highlights how local support networks can make a lasting difference to carers’ lives.
The event takes place at 2pm-7pm on Monday June 8 at the CBS Arena (Premier Lounge).
Pre-registration is essential, and places on stadium tours are limited.
