Today is Carers Rights Day!
We would like to take this opportunity to celebrate Caring Spaces! Delivered in partnership with Carers of East Lothian and VOCAL, this meaningful project supports unpaid carers living across Edinburgh, East Lothian, and Midlothian. This project offers online, and in-person workshops led by artist Juliana Capes, who is a carer herself.
Participants have shared:
“It [Caring Spaces] allows time to focus on yourself and what you need for your own wellbeing.”
“I enjoy getting lost in my creativity.”
“Facilitator [Juliana] is very inclusive on supporting and encouraging carers to use the learning beyond the course. I really enjoyed putting my troubles aside and concentrating on my sculpture. It relaxed me and it was fun to meet new people too.”
A huge thank you to Juliana and all our wonderful Caring Spaces participants!
