The Princess Royal Trust VOCAL Carers Centre provides information, advice, support and advocacy to carers, former carers and anyone working with carers.

The Carers Centre is managed by VOCAL, Voice of Carers Across Lothian, a carer-led voluntary organisation based in Edinburgh, covering four local authorities - City of Edinburgh, West Lothian, East Lothian and Midlothian.

VOCAL also acts as a service development and campaigning agency, providing planning and development support to other organisations and to new community care projects. VOCAL organises conferences and events, carers training courses, and publishes a quarterly newsletter ‘Carers News’ mailed free of charge to 5,000 carers and staff.

As a management agency, VOCAL has responsibility for several smaller projects, including MECOPP (Minority Ethnic Carers of Older People Project) and the Family Support Network for people affected by drug misuse by someone in their family.

VOCAL is funded by local authorities, Lothian Health and through grant support and donations from a wide range of trusts and agencies. 8 Johnston Terrace
