Networking: Supporting Carers / Adapting Your Project

Free

“My favourite thing about today was getting the opportunity to network and share ideas with other people working in the befriending sector. Sharing best practice and new ideas that arose from various conversations.” — Networking participant, 2024

Purpose of this event

Come and meet one of our members Eric Liddell Community who have started a befriending service in response to the needs of their clients.  Alongside their usual befriending project that supports carers they have developed ‘Transition Talking’. This short-term service supports carers transitioning after their cared for has moved into a care home and/or died.

Come and get some ideas to support your existing project and/or get some tips on how to start an additional service in response to the needs of your clients.

Open to members and non members.

Co-hosted with

Eric Liddell Community

The Eric Liddell Community provides a friendly face to chat to, for carers to meet people with similar interests to connect with. Flexible to fit around the needs of the ever-changing life as a carer. This is a free service and is offered to all unpaid carers and care partners across Edinburgh. Find out more about them in our directory.
