Election 2026: Candidates Respond to Fife Carers Centre

Ahead of the Scottish Parliament Election on 7 May 2026, Fife Carers Centre wrote to candidates standing across Fife's constituencies and asked them five questions on the issues that matter most to unpaid carers.

We asked candidates what they would personally do to support carers, how they would improve financial security, protect employment rights, ensure sustainable funding for third sector organisations, and make sure carers are genuinely included within NHS services.

11 candidates responded. We have published every response in full, exactly as received, so that carers across Fife can read what candidates said in their own words and make an informed decision at the ballot box.

We have not endorsed any candidate or party. Our role is to make sure carers have the information they need.
