Renfrewshire Council

Our employee network for colleagues with caring responsibilities, Carers Connected, is having their first 'Care for a Cuppa' virtual session of 2025 on Friday 31 January from 11am-12pm.

Are you an employee who helps another person, usually a relative or friend, in their day to day who may be impacted by disability, physical or mental ill health or substance misuse? If that's you, you could be a working carer. 

You may already be a member of Carers Connected or an unpaid working carer who wants to find out more. Either way, we'd love to meet you!

These virtual sessions are a great chance to connect with other colleagues who have caring responsibilities and share information, experiences, and advice in a safe and friendly environment.

You can also speak to members of our People and OD team who are keen to hear about any ideas you have on how we can improve the supports we offer our staff with caring responsibilities.

Invitations will be sent out to everyone registered on our carers network soon, so look out for your invite.

If you are not yet registered but would like to come along, please email Fiona at fiona.sinclair@renfrewshire.gov.uk or Ian at or ian.whyte@renfrewshire.gov.uk.

If you think you might be a working carer, you can get more information on the type of support available to you on our 'Council staff with caring responsibilities' webpage.
