MECOPP
By working in partnership with carers, voluntary organisation and statutory bodies, MECOPP actively seeks to challenge and dismantle barriers that deny Black and Minority Ethnic carers access to health, social work and other social care services in Edinburgh, the Lothians and further afield.
In addition to a range of direct carers support services delivered primarily in Edinburgh and the Lothians, Perth & Kinross and Argyll & Bute, MECOPP also provides a complementary service to its statutory and mainstream voluntary sector partners through input into policy, service and workforce development at both a local and Scottish national level.
Our Vision is of a Scotland where Minority Ethnic carers and carers from other marginalised communities have full and equal access to services and supports which promote and protect their quality of life, sustain them in their caring role for as long as they so choose and enable them to have a life alongside caring.
