Whether juggling family and work commitments to provide care a few hours a week, or caring 24 hours each day, if you provide regular help and support to a partner, relative or friend because they cannot manage without your help, then Carers Link is here for you.
In East Dunbartonshire 1 Person in 8 is a Carer.
In additional to individual support, Carers Link provides a range of opportunities to Carers who are keen to chat with others, sharing experiences or learning from those who also care.
Caring with Confidence is a knowledge and skills based programme which aims to help Carers across East Dunbartonshire make a positive difference to their lives and to those of the people they care for.
“Very instructive and interesting. A very valuable course both in the content and the discussions with other carers, which all contributed to a very positive experience. Being able to discuss issues has been very helpful.”

“The groups are really now part of my life – have met some really excellent fellow carers and staff. All the staff do there very best and I feel they help in every way they can.”
