Carers News: October edition out now!

We are excited to share the most recent issue of our Carers News magazine for October 2025! Topics include future planning, how to organise a short break from caring, and preparing for winter. We also have a lovely carer story from Markus.

You can read the magazine using the download link below. If you would like to pick up a printed copy, drop in to our Edinburgh Carers’ Hub or Midlothian Carer Centre.

We release a Carers News magazine twice a year and we are always looking for carers who would like to share their story. If you are interested, or you have any other feedback, please contact our Communications Team on .
