Glasgow South Carers Centre
The Glasgow South Carers Centre, delivered by The Dixon Community, is the commissioned provider for supporting unpaid carers across the South of Glasgow. We form part of the Glasgow City Carers Partnership, working collaboratively with local carer centres, condition-specific organisations, health and social care professionals to deliver coordinated support for unpaid carers.
Unpaid carers provide essential support to family, friends or neighbours affected by illness, disability, mental health or addiction, without financial reward. Recognising the vital role they play, our service ensures carers are identified, supported, and empowered to sustain their own health and wellbeing alongside their caring responsibilities.

Do you care for someone?
Three out of five of us will become carers at some point in our lives. You’re not alone, it’s okay to ask for help.
If you care for someone with an illness, disability, additional support need, addiction or mental health condition, we can support you.
