CARERS, MENTAL HEALTH AND DISABILITY SUPPORT

The Ca(I)re Project supports anyone living in Edinburgh who is caring for someone on an unpaid basis. We understand that looking after someone brings many demands and pressures and that often carers' own well being can take second place. We put carers' needs first by providing essential support, learning opportunities and information. All of our courses, events and services are free and are available to carers and former carers.
