The annual campaign, this year taking place between Monday, June 8 and Sunday, June 14, shines a light on the wonderful people putting their own health and safety on the line to look after our families and communities. We asked you to nominate your heroes for Carers Week – and you can click through 21 pictures of those making us proud.
13. Bernadette Lewis
Sarah Lewis: My mother-in-law Bernadette Lewis. She works so hard, never complains and is the most caring woman I’ve ever met. Not only is she a fantastic carer, she’s the almost amazing nanna to our boys too! Thank you for all you do for everyone. Photo: UGC

Richard Rogers: Michael Rogers, Ann Rogers and my wife Susan Rogers who all put their lives at risk of catching the virus to go out and care for others in all weathers. They're all heroes to me. Be safe. Photo: UGC
