Stepping Out Programme 2025

EVENT OVERVIEW

Stepping Out® Short Breaks are breaks for carers, specifically
tailored to meet their needs and provide them with a break from
their caring situation.
The programme is organised by Care for Carers,
a charity specialising in providing support services for carers,
including short day breaks and evening activities.
All our short breaks are free of charge. However, places are
limited and applying does not guarantee a place. We aim to offer
all applicants one break per year, but this may vary depending
on funding streams.

ABOUT Carer Walks

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.
