Carers of West Lothian

Service Provision

Carers of West Lothian is a well-established charity offering a range of services developed to meet the needs of unpaid carers and disabled people in West Lothian.

It was started in 1990 by a small group of people, themselves carers, who recognised the need carers had for information and support. They were concerned about the lack of support in West Lothian and used their own experience to set up a service to support carers like themselves.

Today, through our support, we aim to help every unpaid carer and disabled person in West Lothian to live their lives the way they choose.

We offer a wide range of services, advice and support, including:

• Information and advice
• Training
• One to one emotional support
• Hospital based carer support
• Peer support groups
• Counselling
• Signposting and referral to support services
• Individual & group support for young carers
• Recreational Courses
• Short Break Funding
• Respitality
