We are excited to be hosting a carers' question time webinar during Carers’ Week Scotland on Friday 11th June from 10:30am to 12:30pm.

This will be an online event via the Zoom platform and is a collaboration between three projects funded by the Life Changes Trust: Age Scotland's About Dementia project, Age Scotland's Dementia Training team, and dementia carers charity tide (together in dementia every day).

We want to make sure that the issues raised by unpaid carers of people with dementia in the run up to the elections are still on the agenda. This webinar will give you the chance to put your questions to representatives from Scotland's political parties, and to hear from them about what they plan to do for carers over the coming parliamentary term. During the event you will be able to submit questions to be answered by the panel of politicians, or you can use the sign-up form on Eventbrite to submit questions in advance.

The webinar will also have two unpaid family carers speaking about their own experiences, and brief introductions to the manifesto pledges for unpaid carers from About Dementia and tide .

The event is free to attend, and is open to unpaid family carers, dementia activists, professionals from the statutory and voluntary sectors, or anyone who is interested in carers' rights.

We will be holding the event via Zoom, and will aim to video record the webinar so you can watch it online at a later date. Once you have registered to attend using the Eventbrite form, we will send you the link for joining the meeting in advance of the date.

If you have any questions about the event or require any support to attend, please get in touch with Adam at adam.huntley@agescotland.org.uk
