We are delighted to announce that Barbara Keeley MP, the Member of Parliament for Worsley and Eccles South has agreed to be a Labour Party Parliamentary Champion for Carers Week 2023.
Responding to the announcement, Barbara Keeley MP said:
“I am proud to have been asked by Carers UK to be a Parliamentary Champion for Carers Week. The role of unpaid carers is vitally important. Millions of carers go to extraordinary lengths to care for and support family and friends.
As a Member of Parliament, I feel it is important to speak out about the need for better support and recognition of the work that unpaid carers undertake. Carers Week (5-11 June 2023) offers a valuable opportunity to do this.”
