EVENT OVERVIEW

Join us for a visit to the annual Edinburgh Science Festival, where we will attend the University of Edinburgh’s Discover Our Science drop-in space. We will meet scientists and researchers, discover what they are working on, and even have a go ourselves.

Following this, we will visit Injecting Hope: The Race for a COVID-19 Vaccine. This is a new exhibition at the National Museum of Scotland, exploring the science behind the COVID-19 vaccine and its rapid research, development and delivery. The exhibition brings together more than 80 objects that were acquired in real time during the peak of the pandemic by curators across the UK.

This event is open for the carer and cared-for person to come together.

ABOUT Still Caring

As part of its Still Caring programme, Care for Carers runs a free series of events throughout the year, giving carers a short break from their caring roles and the opportunity to enjoy the company of other carers.

During these events we explore the cultural, artistic and natural aspects of life in and around Edinburgh.

Occasionally an event is open to both the carer and the caredfor person to come together; these are always clearly indicated. Minibus transport is usually provided for events further afield. Please note that some events may have limited availability.

Further details on the Still Caring programme can be found here.
