Dundee Carers Centre

A carer is someone of any age who provides unpaid support to family or friends who could not manage without this help. This could be caring for a relative, partner or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental health or substance misuse problems. Carers may even be juggling paid work with their unpaid caring responsibilities at home.

The Dundee Carers Centre aims to improve the lives of carers, young carers and disabled people through practical and emotional support, advocacy and training along with information about welfare rights and benefits.

We have dedicated teams and projects such as:

• Adult Outreach Support Team
• Young Carers Project (5-18 years)
• UPBEET (16-21 years)
• Black & Minority Ethnic Project
• Direct Payments Support Service
• Primary Health Project
• Welfare Rights Team

We run regular support groups, training sessions and events in addition to the 1:1 support on offer.  We also also have an enquiry service which is open to carers and disabled people, giving information on a whole range of issues such as transport, respite, leisure opportunities and aids/adaptations.

If you think you or somone you know may benefit from any of the services offered by the Dundee Carers Centre, please call or email us.  Alternatively, have a look at our website or Facebook page:
