The National Carer Organisations (NCOs), including Carers Scotland, have launched our manifesto for carers for the upcoming 2026 Scottish Parliament election. 

Our manifesto focuses on improvements in areas that carers tell us are of greatest concern: access to support, looking after their health and wellbeing, and having financial security.

Too many carers are providing care for longer and more intensively at the expense of their own health, wellbeing and financial security. That must change!  Our Manifesto calls for bold action by the next Scottish Parliament to fully deliver the support that carers need. 

We will be using the manifesto and campaign tools for carers and organisations, to share this message and ensure that political parties and candidates know “Carers Votes Count”.
