VOCAL is the Voice of Carers Across Lothian – an organisation run by carers for carers since 1994.

VOCAL’s carer support teams work with unpaid carers to help identify the issues affecting them, and achieve the best possible outcome for carers.

Being a healthcare worker in the community, I see first hand the challenges facing carers on a daily basis and the unwavering compassion they show their loved ones. VOCAL can often be a lifeline for carers at a very stressful time.

I have chosen to run the Edinburgh half marathon on 25th May to raise money for VOCAL. Please support me.
