Citizens Advice provides free, independent, confidential and impartial advice to everyone.

They provide help and support if you are looking after someone who is unwell, disabled or getting older. You could get practical help to make day-to-day life easier or you could get financial support by applying for Carer’s Allowance, a Young Carer Grant or other benefits.

They also have a range of help and support available for unpaid carers such as:

• NHS volunteers
• Practical help
• Carer assessments
• Paying for help
• Help with money
• Help from your employer

Please note, the Citizens Advice on Dundas Street is the main office in Edinburgh. There are also offices in Leith, Portobello, Musselburgh, Penicuik and Dalkeith.
