During National Carers Week, we want to extend our deepest appreciation to our incredible families. At Brays, we witness daily the dedication, commitment, and resilience you all embody. Your unwavering support and love are truly inspirational, and we are profoundly grateful for everything you do.
National Carers Week takes place on 10th – 16th June this year. This campaign highlights how unpaid carers face many challenges, and how it’s vital to recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK. We understand that many people don’t see themselves as a carer as it is often a family member or child that they care for, this unfortunately means that they could be missing out on the support they need.
How our families been been supported at school since January:
– Brays Breakfast
– World Book Day
– International Women’s Day
