Carers Network Group

Carers is a Leonardo network group run by a small number of employees with caring responsibilities, across all our UK sites. Caring responsibilities can come in various forms, from looking after elderly parents, unwell partners or friends, to caring for children with specific needs. Carers exists to provide support to employees, raise awareness of the issues that carers face, and to help the company deliver its inclusion objectives.

During 2026, Leonardo’s Carers Network is marking the following events:

Young Carers Action Day (16 March)
Carers Week (8-14 June)
National Inclusion Week (14-20 September)
Carers Rights Day (19 November)
Human Rights Day (10 December)
