Next Carers Forum - 18th January 2024

Our next Carers Forum will be on Thursday 18th January 2024 from 11:00am - 1:00pm at Great Michael House, 14 Links Place, Leith, EH6 7EZ.

We are pleased to welcome Lynsey Walker, Hospital Discharge Carer Support Worker from the Edinburgh Carer Support Team to talk with us about her work and provide information on Adult Carer Support Plans. There will also be an opportunity for you to raise any issues that are important to you.

Teas and coffees will be available throughout the meeting. Please feel free to bring along your own snacks or lunch if you wish, there is also a cafe located in our office near where the meeting takes place.

The Carers Forum is open to all unpaid carers (family, friends) supporting someone with mental illness, dementia, learning disability, autism, or acquired brain injury. It's a relaxed setting which enables carers to meet and look at information about current changes and developments within mental health, and to discuss and collectively address issues to move them forward to make a difference. We can also arrange for speakers to join us at Forums to talk about issues that are meaningful for you. You do not need to be a member of Edinburgh Carers Council to attend. The Forum is also a great place to meet other unpaid carers who may be in similar situations, and to share your experiences.

You can find out more by visiting our Carers Forum page.

If you would like to attend the Carers Forum on 18th January, please let us know by emailing info@edinburghcarerscouncil.co.uk or calling us on 0131 322 8480.
