There are over a million carers in Scotland which equates to around 1 in 5 people in Scotland. It is vital that the voices of carers are heard in policy decisions that affect them and the people that they care for. At the Coalition we aim to provide opportunities and support carers to get involved in campaigns to improve carers rights, recognition and support.
Learn MoreOur members receive regular information about our campaigns and consultation events that they can contribute to. Membership is open to all carers and organisations that support carers. It is free to become a member if you are a carer, and a voluntary affiliation fee for organisations that support carers.
We regularly contribute to the development of policy and legislation which is important to carers. Some of the ways we do this is by asking carers what they think, through meetings, focus groups, surveys and quick polls, and then submitting their views to decision and policy makers.
