❤️ Breaking the mould of Care provision in PH8 ❤️

Find out more on Wednesday 27th of August in the Guide Hall, Birnam, at 7.00pm.

In 2024, a new care service was established in Dunkeld, covering the PH8 area. It was called ‘ PH8 Caring Support’ and was directly accountable to the local Development Trust The aims were to:

- increase the overall amount of care locally
- create local jobs
- connect to other local services
- give people the care they need in their own homes and communities

18 months later and with the number of Personal Assistants recruited now into double figures, we’re about to enter a new partnership with colleagues in Kinloch Rannoch. It will be a not-for- profit Social Enterprise, overseen by people from both localities and with a strong connection into both communities . It’s name will be Heartland Cares Ltd and it will build upon the success of PH8 Caring Support. We’ll continue to recruit and provide mentoring to Personal Assistants, and support Befrienders. But we’ll now be looking to take on Homecare workers to deliver Personal Care aswell. Our ambition is to establish a comprehensive care and support service, using local carers where possible and linking to others local services .

We’ll be explaining more about ‘What’s next’ on the evening of 27th August in the Guide Hall, from 7.00 - 8.00pm. If you’re interested, please do come along. We’d be delighted to meet you, whether you’re thinking about becoming a carer, thinking you or a family member might need care at some point , or simply wanting more information.

And if you can’t make it on the night, but would like to find out more, please contact Eilidh, our local Coordinator on [email protected]
