This Carers Rights Day, join Citizens Advice Milton Keynes and the Carers Support Network for a FREE drop in event.

As the Lead Provider for the Carers Support Network, Citizens Advice Milton Keynes are delighted to be hosting the Carers Rights Day Drop In at Natwest Milton Keynes.

This event is an oppoutnunity for all kinds of carers to drop by for a coffee and a chat, ask for advice relating to supporting their needs as a carer and share their story with supportive peers.

We will also have The Mayor of Milton Keynes joining us during the day (11am to 1pm), pop on down to grab a photo!

The theme for Carers Rights Day 2026 is “Someone you know is a carer, but do they know it yet?”

You might not see yourself as a carer, but if you regularly support someone who relies on your help, you could be entitled to advice, support and certain rights. Carers Rights Day 2026 aims to help people recognise their caring role and access the support available to them.
