Keeping Edinburgh Podcast

We are pleased to share that we will be featured in the new 'Keeping Edinburgh podcast' which recently launched for people across the Capital, and is available to download via Apple and Spotify.

The series is an investment by the Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership, with the podcast designed and delivered in collaboration with partners across NHS Scotland and the third and independent sectors. Each half hour episode is released monthly providing an immersive audio journey into some of the many free-to-access experiences that are helping individuals and communities to have more good days.

Edinburgh Carers Council will proudly feature in Episode 4, 'Keeping Edinburgh Talking', which will launch Friday 1st March 2024.

We were delighted to be part of the initial series which came along to capture Edinburgh Carers Council's peer support and advocacy services for carers.

We are enormously thankful to our attendees who participated on the day to share their stories and experiences and look forward to hearing them and other organisations in the upcoming episodes!

#2 Keeping Edinburgh Active

It's no secret that exercise keeps us physically fit - but did you know it can also improve our mental health, quality of life, and overall wellbeing? Host Gus Harrower meets groups and organisations in Edinburgh that are working to make exercise more accessible and inclusive for everyone, including those facing personal challenges.  By the end of the episode, you'll realise when it comes to getting active, there is something out there for everybody.
