Information Sessions for Professionals
Fife Carers Centre is hosting an online Information Session for professionals who want to learn more about unpaid carers and the support available across Fife.
Take a Walk in Their Shoes - Dementia Workshop
This interactive information session offers a practical understanding of dementia and how it can affect everyday life.
Communicating with Dementia - Dementia Workshop
As dementia progresses, spoken language and word-finding can become increasingly difficult. This can be frustrating for the person with dementia and stressful for those who care for them.
This informal session focuses on practical, compassionate communication and ways to maintain connection when words are harder to find.
You will learn:
Practical ways to connect and communicate more effectively
How to enjoy meaningful time together, even when communication is challenging
Strategies to cope with the emotional and behavioural changes dementia can bring
Who it’s for
This session is exclusively for unpaid and family carers and is free to attend.
If you are a professional and interested in attending a future workshop, please email news@fifecarers.co.uk.
Dementia Afternoon Tea
Join us for a relaxed afternoon of live music and refreshments to mark Dementia Awareness Week.
Unpaid Carers Conference | Carers Week 2026
Join us to mark Carers Week at Fife Carers Centre's Unpaid Carers Conference, a day dedicated to recognising the contribution unpaid carers make across Fife.
This year's Carers Week theme is Carer Friendly Communities, and that theme sits at the heart of this event. We'll be exploring what it means to build communities where carers are seen, supported, and valued, and what more needs to happen across Fife to make that a reality.
The day will include interactive workshops and talks from organisations working alongside carers, with plenty of opportunity to share your own experiences and hear from others.
Whether you are an unpaid carer yourself, or someone who works with or alongside carers, this is your chance to be part of the conversation.
Parent & Guardian Carer Drop-In | Carers Week
Join us for a relaxed drop-in morning as part of Carers Week, just for parent and guardian carers in Fife.
Come along at a time that suits you and enjoy a taster Sound Bath session and a hand massage provided by students from Fife College. Refreshments will also be provided.
This is your time – but we also want to hear from you. We will be using the morning to find out what is missing for parent and guardian carers in Fife. What groups, activities, or support would make a difference to you? Your ideas will help shape what we do next.
No need to stay for the full two hours – drop in, take a breath, and let us know what you think.
Carers Week Day Disco
Put on your dancing shoes and come and celebrate Carers Week with us. This is your chance to let your hair down, have a laugh, and spend time with people who get it.
We'll have a live singer on the night, so expect great music, a proper dance floor, and good company from start to finish.
Bring a friend, bring the person you care for, or just come along yourself. Everyone is welcome, including professionals who work alongside carers across Fife.
Come for the music. Stay for the company.
