information SERVICE DETAILS

The Edinburgh Carers Forum was established in May 2020 at the request of voluntary sector carer organisations in Edinburgh. It is organised by EVOC, originally with funding from the Supporting Communities Fund.

The Forum is open to any voluntary organisation that supports carers in Edinburgh and is chaired by Maureen Martin, CEO of Edinburgh Development Group, with administrative support provided by EVOC.

Guest speakers are invited to speak at some Forum meetings (from Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership, NHS Lothian, Police Scotland etc.).

Edinburgh Carers Forum aims to:

- Provide a Forum that offers peer support for voluntary organisations supporting carers in Edinburgh
- Provide support to carer organisation staff and volunteers
- Share information, knowledge and good practice
- Promote and celebrate the work of carer organisations and services, and the carers they support
- Maximise the contribution of Edinburgh’s voluntary sector
- Strengthen relationships with Public Sector partners

Upcoming dates for the Forum:

Tue 5 Sep, 1pm – 2.30pm
Tue 31 Oct, 1pm – 2.30pm
Tue 5 Dec, 1pm – 2.30pm

For further information about the work of the Forum and to join a Forum meeting, please get in touch with Hugo Whitaker.
