Carer Support

We know that reaching out for support can feel like a big step — but we’re glad you’re here. At Care for Carers, we’re always ready to welcome new carers, and getting started is straightforward.

If you’re an unpaid carer living in Edinburgh, or caring for someone who lives in Edinburgh, simply fill out our online referral form below. We’ll be in touch shortly with a welcome pack and everything you need to know about how we can support you. If you are unable to complete an online application, please get in touch with us via the methods below.

We welcome both self-referrals and referrals made by professionals — as long as the carer has given their permission.
