We need your help!

We are raising funds to help us run our existing programmes and develop new ones so we can be there for any carer who needs individual or collective advocacy. Your pledges and donations will help us to continue to stand side-by-side with carers to help overcome barriers they face and to continue the care they provide.

Edinburgh Carers Council is looking for two peer support workers to assist carers and adult siblings of people with an eating disorder to feel supported in their caring role and to experience improved wellbeing. The posts can be either full time or part time. Personal or lived experience as a carer of a person with an eating disorder is desirable.

Edinburgh Carers Council has been funded by city of Edinburgh Council to provide independent advocacy services to unpaid carers since 2012.  Unfortunately this funding will end on 30 June 2023 as the Council has decided to give the funding to another organisation.  This means that there will be some changes in our advocacy provision over the next few months.   We do not yet have the full details of these changes but will keep you up to date as we progress discussions with the new organisation.
