We are approaching Carers' Rights Day, which is every year on November 25.

Supported by Carers UK, a charity for carers, this year's Carers Rights Day campaign will focus on raising awareness of the rights that unpaid carers have.

Carers UK gives carers expert advice, information and support.

They also campaign and innovate to find better ways to reach and support carers.

Each year, Carers Rights Day brings organisations together to help carers in the local community know their rights and find out how to get the help and support they are entitled to.

Carers UK said: "Each year, Carers Rights Day helps us ensure carers are aware of their rights, let carers know where to get help and support, and raise awareness of the needs of carers.

"The pandemic has had a massive impact on the lives of carers, affecting access to services, the ability to juggle work and care and much more.

"That's why it’s more important than ever that carers are aware of what they have the right to."

For this reason, we decided to take a look back nto our photo archives, and see what has been done for carers in the county, as well as spreading visibility of carers that we have photographed, and told their stories.

Carers UK also said on their website of Carers Rights Day 2021, which is sponsored by Barclays LifeSkills: "Carers need to know their rights wherever they are in their caring journey, whether they are in the workplace, in a healthcare setting, when interacting with professionals or at home.

"This Carers Rights Day, we want to empower carers with information and support, so they can feel confident asking for what they need.

"We also want carers to know how to challenge things when their rights are not being met."
