Carers across West Berkshire are warmly invited to attend this year’s Carers Rights Day, taking place on Thursday 20 November 2025, from 2:00 to 5:30 pm at Thatcham Rugby Club, Henwick Worthy Sports Fields.

Organised in partnership with Reading and West Berkshire Carers Partnership, the event brings together a wide range of organisations offering free advice, information, and support for unpaid carers. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with:

• Age UK Berkshire
• West Berkshire Council Adult Social Care
• Eight Bells
• Crossroads
• Alzheimer’s Society
• Patient Information Point

• And many other local stallholders

The afternoon begins with opening remarks at 2:30 pm, followed by a legal presentation from Silver Line (2:40-3:40 pm) and a Carers Rights talk by West Berkshire Council Adult Social Care (3:40-4:10 pm). From 4:10 pm onwards, the event opens into a relaxed session with information stalls, a free café area, cakes, and a world tea tasting experience.
