When you are looking after a family member or friend, it can be good
to meet up with other people who are caring too and understand what it's like.
We have several carer support groups throughout East Lothian, providing an opportunity for you to take time
out and enjoy a chat and a coffee in peaceful surroundings.
We currently support the groups listed below.
If there
is not a group in your area, and you are interested in starting a group, we are always happy to help with the start up and
provide ongoing support.
Tranent Carers Group
Meet on the last Friday
of every month in
East Lothian Co-op Bowling club (Tranent) at 11.00am.

In

We also run the Wellbeing Group, which is for carers (and those they care for)
who are
unable to attend regular support groups because of their caring role.
If you would like further information on
either of these groups
please contact the Centre. |
If you are interested in going along to any of the groups you would
be assured of a very friendly welcome. If you feel you would like to speak to someone first, please call the Carers Centre
on 0131 665 0135 for a friendly and informal chat.
