ECC Independent Advocacy Funding

Edinburgh Carers Council has been funded by city of Edinburgh Council to provide independent advocacy services to unpaid carers since 2012.  Unfortunately this funding will end on 30 June 2023 as the Council has decided to give the funding to another organisation.  This means that there will be some changes in our advocacy provision over the next few months.   We do not yet have the full details of these changes but will keep you up to date as we progress discussions with the new organisation. 

We are extremely disappointed in this outcome as we feel we have provided a high quality and local service to our carers supporting them through their, often complex and emotional, journeys.  We will continue to do this throughout this transfer of services. We have expressed our disappointment to Edinburgh Council and await a response.
