Hello First name / Friend,,

 

 

This week, 5th - 11th June is Carers Week, an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK.

 

To celebrate, we’ve partnered with national charity for carers - Carers UK to bring you four fun and accessible creative challenges that have been designed by their members. 

Carers UK support, advocate for, champion and connect carers across the UK, so that no one has to care alone. Their key services and vital support provide a lifeline to unpaid carers at a time when they most need it.

 

 

We’ll be sharing a new creative challenge designed by the Carers UK members every Monday throughout June. We’ve also created a free downloadable pack which includes the four challenges ahead of time - to use and adapt for your setting or community, or if you’d like to do them all at once!

 

What does caring for someone feel like?

What is your experience of being cared for?

 

In any medium you'd like, find a visual way to represent any feelings or challenges that come up for you in answer to those questions. Create a drawing or collage, or you could finish the sentence 'I care......' and see where your words take you.

 

How could you show care for somebody, something or yourself this week?

Share your creative response on the Carers Week website by saying 'I CARE...'.

 

Share with someone you care about and invite them to join in.

Share your responses with #CarersWeek #TheWeeklyChallenge #64MillionArtists on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. 

 

 

 

See you next week, 

from the team at 64 Million Artists

 

P.s. Why not invite a friend to join The Weekly Challenge and kickstart a little creative connection with others?
