The Edinburgh Carers Team is hosting a series of events for carers across the city to review the service – and one of the ‘Carers Supporting Carers’ events will be held at North Edinburgh Arts next week.
The City of Edinburgh Council and Edinburgh Community Health Partnership is reviewing the joint strategic action plan on support for carers, and they want to know what carers think:
‘Towards 2012′ was the joint strategic action plan for Edinburgh from 2007 – 2012. Has it made a difference to the lives of carers?
What should the priorities for carer support be for the next five years?
These events are one way to feed in your views, and are also part of a project to develop ways for carers to get more involved in planning the types of carer support that will be provided in the future. Come along to find out more.
The events offer the opportunity to:
- Meet others who are carers for a relative or friend
- Come for tea, cake and complementary therapies
- Share your ideas and thoughts about services for carers
- Hear ways for carers to shape services
- Find out what support there is for carers in Edinburgh.
The local event takes place at North Edinburgh Arts Centre
on Friday 23 November from 2 – 4pm.
