Join us to celebrate 10 years of Respitality in Scotland with a special international webinar showcasing how the Respitality initiative is supporting unpaid carers across the globe.

Hosted by Shared Care Scotland, this event brings together guest speakers from Canada and England who are delivering inspiring Respitality-style initiatives in their local areas. You’ll hear from:

  1. Annie Ewing, Destination Toronto (Canada)
  2. Carolyn Harris, Empower Simcoe (Canada)
  3. Jodie Peckitt, Carers Plus Yorkshire (England) (pre-recorded)

Together, we’ll explore:

  • What Respitality looks like in different countries
  • Why organisations are embracing social tourism as a model of carer support
  • Real stories of impact
  • How being part of a global network strengthens local delivery

Whether you're a carer, practitioner, policymaker, funder, or someone new to Respitality — this is a chance to learn, be inspired, and connect.

Please note that this session will be recorded and made available after the event via our Vimeo platform.
