Carers Scotland (formerly Carers National Association Scotland) is a national carer-led organisation campaigning and working for all carers. Carers look after family, partners or friends in need of help because they are ill, frail or have a disability. The care they provide is unpaid. Carers Scotland is involved in a range of activities including:-
- Providing information and advice on all aspects of caring to both carers and professionals through CarersLine and their information service.
- Campaigning at all levels to persuade all those who take decisions affecting carers to adopt policies and practices which will deliver real choices, a sustainable income and a quality of life acceptable to carers and to those they care for.
- Providing a network of member-led branches, which provide support and information to carers at a local level and provide feedback on local practices and policies for carers.
- Publishing "Carers" magazine for carers and professionals in Scotland and, as part of Carers UK, "Caring" a magazine for members - both which contains news, information, campaign updates and features of interest to carers.
- Offer training to professionals on a range of issues affecting carers including benefits, assessments, community care and legislation.
