The Carers Parliament is an annual event for unpaid carers in Scotland, giving them the opportunity to address their concerns and questions on caring directly to national and local Government decision-makers.

With a new Scottish Parliament to be elected next year, this year we will be looking at 2026 and beyond to address the main priorities for unpaid carers and how their lives can be improved.

The Minister for Social Care and Mental Wellbeing Tom Arthur MSP and the Health and Social Care Spokesperson for COSLA, Councillor Paul Kelly have confirmed their attendance.

If you are attending in person, we also offer expenses to carers for the costs of travel and where required, replacement care, accommodation (for those travelling further) and subsistence.

 

 

Register your place for the Carers Parliament 2025 to participate online or in-person on the day.

 

The Carers Parliament 2025 is funded by the Scottish Government and supported by Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks.
