About

The Edinburgh Marathon Festival (EMF) is made up a huge number of races all taking placing on Edinburgh historic streets and past many of its iconic landmarks as well as the East Lothian coastline. There are 9 events across the whole weekend for the whole family. Whatever distance you pick, why not raise money for tide to help carers and former carers of people with dementia?

The 9 events are:

TIDE - Together in Dementia Everyday

At tide (together in dementia everyday), we firmly believe that carers and former carers are the true agents of sustainable change. We unlock their skills and confidence by investing in them through our Development Programme and through the collective voice of our UK Wide Involvement Network. Carers use their lived experiences to influence communities, society, health and social care organisations, research and policy development. We do this because carers make up the largest dementia workforce (44%) and they contribute £13.9 billion to the care economy every year. Working with carers of people with dementia as equal partners leads to better outcomes for people with dementia and carers and enables staff to do a better job. We believe that carers lived experience and voice should be equally respected, valued, heard and acted upon as equal partners alongside professionals.
