Care for Carers runs a free programme of events throughout the year, giving carers a short break from their caring roles and the opportunity to enjoy the company of other carers. During these events we explore the cultural, artistic and natural aspects of life in and around Edinburgh.
Some events may be open to the carer and the cared-for person; this is clearly marked beside the event date. Note that events may have limited availability.
You can register your interest in attending our events by first getting in touch with us by email or phone. Please note that places are often limited and can be subject to different kinds of prioritisation according to the nature of the event and the specific programme. Where an event can accommodate the carer and their cared-for person attending together, this will be highlighted in the description.
Care for Carers runs a series of walks throughout the year, helping carers to get a short break from their caring roles. We travel through the quiet, peaceful parks and green spaces in and around Edinburgh, sometimes further afield, finding out a little more about our surroundings and one another.
The expected terrain is indicated beside each walk, but sturdy shoes and weatherproof clothing are always essential. Minibus transport is provided where appropriate.
Both carers and former carers are welcome to attend. Please contact us in advance to reserve a place on a particular walk.
Further details on the Carer Walks programme can be found here.
Please fill in your full name and email address along with your enquiry and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
