Carers Week, 10-16 June 2024

Carers Week, taking place from 10-16 June, is a UK-wide awareness campaign seeking to increase visibility for carers. It aims to raise awareness of the challenges carers face.

If you look after a family member or a friend who has lymphoma without being paid for it, you’re taking on the role of a carer. We know that this can bring a range of challenges and considerations, including those that are practical, physical, emotional and financial.

At Lymphoma Action we provide information and support for carers through our:

• Helpline Services – contact us by phone, email or Live Chat. 
• Online Support meetings – a chance to meet others affected by lymphoma. We have a group specifically for friends, family and carers.
• Closed Facebook Support Group – brings people living with lymphoma and family members and friends together. 
• Buddy Service  – offers an opportunity to speak with another carer.  
• When someone close to you has lymphoma book – available to download or you can order a printed copy free of charge. This book covers practical tips and emotional support and includes quotes from carers.
