Sandwell Carers Service Carers Week Event 2026

Forward Carers are thrilled to bring together unpaid Carers, community organisations, statutory services and partners from across Sandwell for your Carers Week Event 2026.

This year’s celebration will take place at the beautiful Sandwell Valley Visitor Centre, offering Carers a chance to take a well-deserved break, enjoy time outdoors, meet new people and learn more about the support available locally.

Caring for someone can be rewarding, but it can also be demanding. Many Carers spend so much time focusing on the needs of others that they rarely get time for themselves. This event has been designed to give Carers space to pause, relax and enjoy a few hours away from their usual routine.

Whether you are a Carer, support someone who is, or work in a service that supports Carers, this event offers a welcoming space to discover support and meet others.
