According to this article in the Edinburgh Evening News:

The Eric Liddell Centre's Ca(i)re Programme, which supports carers across Edinburgh, could lose 100% of its council funding.

  1. The centre offers an invaluable service, providing counselling at an affordable cost within a realistic timeframe.

    To close it would be to add to the burden on the NHS that the centre already offers as an alternative.

    Please for once, take note of these posts and remember that for every one written there are hundreds more in the families of Edinburgh.

  2. The service provided by the Project is invaluable for carers. It enables them to have a brief respite from their stressful caring roles and realise that there are others who are similarly struggling to cope with their loved one's disabilities. Without carers' commitment, their loved ones care would be a costly charge on the State's resources.
