We are pleased to announce that Agenor Technology and Voice of Carers Across Lothian (VOCAL) are working in partnership to support unpaid carers in Edinburgh and Midlothian.

As a ‘Carer Positive Employer’, a Scottish Government funded initiative, Agenor are committed to ensuring a supportive workplace for carers, providing a variety of support to help employees balance the demands of work and the commitments associated with being a carer.

Gary Montgomery, CEO of Agenor Technology said:

 “For many people caring for someone close is a demanding part of daily life, the value of which has been highlighted even more by the COVID-19 pandemic. This partnership with VOCAL is our way of showing our support and demonstrates our commitment to our Corporate and Social Responsibility principles, which drive us to conduct our business in a way that has a positive impact on the community around us.

 “We look forward to working closely with VOCAL and helping them in areas such as communication, IT support, fundraising and sponsorship so they can do what they do best, providing vital services and support to carers across Edinburgh and Midlothian, whose important work is often unpaid and goes largely unnoticed.”
