The Coalition is open to any local carer-led project or carer organisation - if your carer project wants to be part of the bigger picture in Scotland, join us!
We welcome generic organisations, projects for minority ethnic carers or young carers, and organisations representing specific carer groups, such as mental health or parent carers.
You can check our Member Organisations Contact Details to find information on existing member organisations.
