Eurocarers brings together carers’ organisations as well as relevant universities & research institutes – a unique combination that enables evidence-based advocacy. Our network works to ensure that care is valued and unpaid care is recognised as central to the sustainability of health and long term care systems.
Why a European Carers Day?
The idea is to coordinate and foster national efforts to raise awareness of carers’ issues under a pan-European structure. We will therefore be able to capitalise on existing actions and enable/facilitate new initiatives among less-advanced parts of Europe.
European Carers Day is celebrated every year on the 6th of October.
Why do carers need balance in their work-life-care journey?
Caring for loved ones is a noble and vital role that millions of individuals undertake every day. However, this responsibility often comes with challenges that can impact not only the carers’ own well-being but also their ability to maintain a fulfilling work-life-care balance.
What we are calling for
Our campaign is dedicated to raising awareness about the crucial need for work-life-care balance for carers across Europe. We believe that every individual, regardless of their caring responsibilities, deserves the opportunity to lead a fulfilling life.
