VOCAL supports unpaid carers in Edinburgh and Midlothian. We offer tailored support for all caring situations and relationships, including caring for a family member, partner, relative or friend, of any age, who might need help to manage a long term condition, a disability, a physical or mental health problem or an addiction.
VOCAL provides much of this support directly, offering access to expert advice covering:
• Carers’ rights• Benefits entitlements and applications• Power of Attorney, wills and trusts• Emergency and long term care planning• Emotional support• Access to short breaks• Peer support

VOCAL works to ensure that partnerships are mutually beneficial. Our Partnership Wellbeing Calendar shares key dates and events throughout 2021-22 that your organisation can support.
We have also included information on how you can get involved, from fundraising opportunities and supporting our Treasure Tree social enterprise to donating carer breaks through the Wee Breaks project.
Look out for training opportunities and information on VOCAL’s employers’ event, taking place during Carers Week. This is a great opportunity for line managers and employers to learn about supporting carers in the workplace and accessing practical support.
Join us throughout the year in raising awareness of carers and carer support.
