Launch of Wellbeing Gift Box initiative for Devon’s unpaid carers during Carers’ Week

Unpaid carers in Tiverton were the first in Devon to have received free Wellbeing Gift Boxes as part of a county-wide joint initiative between Devon Carers at Westbank and Devon Partnership NHS Trust (DPT), supported through funding from Open Up, the Trust’s charity, launched during Carers’ Week (8th - 14th June 2026).
Tracy's Story

Like so many of us, Tracy only recognised herself as an unpaid carer when her daughter was diagnosed in her early 20’s with Autism and Inattentive ADHD. Her caring journey has led her to become a Carer Ambassador for Devon Carers, which enables her to speak out for others, raise awareness and help shape the future of adult carer services.
