SERVICE DETAILS
Care for Carers has a portfolio of rolling programmes which provide carers with opportunities to take part in activities, trips, courses, and various forms of entertainment and educational events. Event schedules are announced throughout the year; the latest programme leaflets and booklets are mailed out to members, and published on this website along with updates to our online calendar.
Still Caring...
Our Still Caring programmes are updated seasonally: new calendars of events are published each spring, summer, autumn and winter. These events take the form of day and evening activities, with opportunities to learn something new, socialise and have fun with others.
We explore the cultural, artistic and natural aspects of life in and around Edinburgh, and there is a full range of online and in-person meeting options. These includes trips to the theatre, tours around local places of interest, workshops - plus our Open Days. Our regular sessions on Zoom include yoga, relaxation and our Coffee & Chat sessions, as well as online courses and workshops on a range of topics. We are constantly adding new and interesting ideas to our programmes.
Some events may be open to the carer and the cared-for person to come together; this is always clearly marked in our programme booklets. Note that events may have limited availability
The Still Caring programmes are planned, organised, facilitated and supported by the Care for Carers Short Breaks Team. Everything is free of charge.
