About

In early 2016, work began on a campaign which was intended to raise awareness of carers in Dundee. Funding for this came through The Carers Partnership and the planning group for the campaign consisted of staff from local statutory and voluntary agencies and carers of various ages. This work was led by Dundee Carers Centre.

The campaign’s supporting website was titled Carers of Dundee.

The campaign ended but it was agreed that developing the website further would be hugely beneficial for carers, their families and workforce in Dundee. It would also allow carers and their families to find out about relevant support and information , events, learning/courses and activities to support them in their caring role, without having to search through individual local and national support organisations’ websites.

The website will continue to be developed, in response to the needs of the online community – the Carers of Dundee.
