Dedicated to Supporting Carers
If you are looking after
someone who can’t
manage without you
because they are ill, frail
or have a disability, then
you are a carer and Carers
Bucks can help you.
Carers Week takes place 6th – 12th June, an
annual campaign to raise awareness of caring.
Carers Bucks will be organising events for
carers including the launch of its new Carers
Discount Card, a card offering carers living in
Bucks some great discounts at a range of local
businesses and retailers from food and drink to
health and transport.
The Carers Card will be launching during Carers
Week at Wycombe Library in High Wycombe
on Tuesday 7th June from 10.30am – 4pm,
Wycombe Library (1st Floor) at Eden Shopping
Centre, 5 Eden Place, High Wycombe HP11
2DH. All carers are welcome to come and
register for the card on the day.
There are over 52,000 unpaid adult carers
living in Buckinghamshire, playing a vital
role in providing care and support to family
and friends, as well as making an enormous
economic contribution to society.

Carers Bucks could help you or
