Charity Hartlepool Carers organised a wide variety of events and activities all week to help raise awareness of the support available, and allow carers to let their hair down.
They included a big roadshow at The Grand Hotel which brought over 25 partner agencies together all under one roof.

The charity’s chief executive Christine Fewster said: “It was an opportunity for people to find out lots of information what’s going on in the community and to enjoy a bit of time away from their caring role.”
Hartlepool Carers later celebrated its 30th birthday with a party which raised money towards its activities.
The day, and whole week, was a success and enabled the charity to identify a number of new carers.
"We have had lots of positive feedback,” added Christine.
