Queer Carers Group
Organiser
Diane
If you are LGBTQ+ and care for or support someone, this space is for you!
Our Queer Carers Group offers a welcoming space to connect with others who understand what it’s like to balance caring for someone else, while trying to look after yourself. Here, you can share experiences, learn from peers, and find solidarity.
Caring often means our own needs get pushed aside. This group gives you time to pause, reflect, and explore what you need to stay well.
Together, we’ll choose topics that matter to you. These may include caregiving, mental health, boundaries, and self-care.
We work in partnership with VOCAL, a carers charity, and can connect you with practical support around money, benefits, your legal rights, short breaks and more.
Join us to explore the unique experiences of LGBTQ+ carers and to build a strong caring community for each other.
Spaces are limited, so please register in advance via Eventbrite.
Each registration is for one person.
You’ll receive a confirmation email.
If you need help or can’t attend, contact Diane at diane@lgbthealth.org.uk or call 0131 564 3970.
