“It was so nice to have a day away and meet up with other carers. I feel so much better for the whole experience . The trip was fantastic and something I would never have the opportunity to do myself. The staff took control of all the important stuff so I could totally relax.”
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.
