Take part in Carers Active Together in April 2026! 

Carers UK are encouraging carers to be more physically active on 15 April by providing a range of information, resources, and activities, including online sessions, and a walking challenge. 

Whilst recognising the challenges that carers may face in being active, the campaign also raises awareness of the physical and mental health benefits of moving more and highlights how carers can be supported to do this. 

Carers can access resources, tips, and information about how to balance physical activity with looking after someone. 

 

How to get involved 

Visit the Carers Active Together page to find out more and ideas on how to get active this spring. 

There are so many ways you can get moving in solidarity with other unpaid carers on 15 April!   

You might:  

  • try a short activity at home 

  • join an online class 

  • take part in a local session organised by a partner organisation 

  • simply take the time to move a little more than usual
