Providing The Best
Care For Cowal & Bute
At the carers centre our aim is to offer a welcoming and relaxed
atmosphere where carers can talk about their caring role in a confidential
and non-judgemental way.
New Bute Office
We opened our new carers centre on the Isle of Bute in June 2019. At first, it was used mainly by our young carers
but as the demand grew for support for unpaid carers on Bute, we decided to share the centre between young, and
adult carers.
Our aim was to have a member of our team on the island who would be able to support and advise carers on their
caring journey.
We are happy to say that we now have Eileen Brennan (support worker) on Bute who covers the centre for young
and adult carers.
This allows our Bute carers to enjoy the same benefits as the carers in Dunoon, be it carer drop ins, 1:1 support,
peer groups etc.
You will find us at 12 Tower Street, Rothesay, PA20 0BZ
“We endeavour to support you in your caring role and hope that we can make a difference in the challenges you face”
We really care about your well-being!
Carer Support Groups are facilitated in rural areas. It is a fantastic opportunity to
meet with other carers, reduce isolation, share your caring experience and find
peer support.
If you live in Cowal or Bute and we are not providing a support group in your area
please get in touch, we would be delighted to hear from you and would be happy
to organise a group in your area.

People often don’t view
themselves as a carer.
As a result you can
miss out on vital
support to assist you in
the caring role.
Carers can and do face
many challenges
throughout the caring
journey.
