Stepping Out Programme for 2024

EVENT OVERVIEW

The 2024 edition of our Stepping Out programme has been released alongside our Carers Newsletter for January. The new programme covers the period February 2024–January 2025 and features some of the most remote breaks we’ve ever organised, including numerous island breaks — Skye, Rum, Coll, Arran and Lismore — each with a different focus, several theatre breaks, and lots of exploration, relaxation and socialising. We conclude the year with a trip to the Enchanted Forest in Pitlochry and a festive Pantomime break to Glasgow.

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.
