Carers Scotland

Carers Scotland We're here to make life better for carers. Carers provide unpaid care by looking after an ill, frail or disabled family member, friend or partner.

We are the Scottish nation office of Carers UK (www.carersuk.org) Looking for advice? Contact our helpline by calling 0808 808 7777 or email [email protected]. Carers Scotland is here to improve carers’ lives. We fight for equality for carers. We want carers to have the same right as everyone else to an ordinary life – a fair level of income, access to support to protect their health and well be

ing and access to the world of work, leisure and education. We seek to empower carers. We want carers to be actively involved in the design, development and delivery of services. We want carers to be recognised and involved as key partners in the provision of health and social care services. We're happy to share posts about events or activities for carers on our page. If you'd like any included, please just email [email protected]
