Carers of East Lothian (CoEL)

Carers of East Lothian (CoEL) works across East Lothian providing support for people who look after friends and family members. We support carers via access to information, emotional support, short breaks, counselling, advice re health, community care service and finance and benefits. We are also unique in having a carer support worker embedded in the CMHT.

Reason for applying to DiH

Our website is tired, static and fails to act as a portal to engage with carers and the public.

Braveheart benefited greatly from the process of developing the style and content for the website and we are very happy with the end result.

Safe Space

We are delighted with the new website, we received excellent feedback from our funders, users volunteers and staff. as a small charity we didn't have the funds for a new website. This has been a fantastic opportunity. both the graphics coop and Lesley at VHS have been extremely supportive and the guidance first class.

We are delighted with the end product and really enjoyed the experience of working with VHS and Graphics Co-op. It's early days yet but we hope (and already beginning to feel) our new site enables us to engage more effectively in the new world of social media and information sharing.
