A Community-Led Approach to Care at Home in Rural Scotland

Business SupportCase StudiesCommunity (& Stakeholder) EngagementFundingStrategy & Development

The Challenge:
Rural and remote communities in Scotland struggle to access care at home and other vital social care services, particularly for older and vulnerable people. With an ageing population, demand is rising while current delivery models don’t work in many areas.

How can we think differently, work together, and explore new ways of helping people support one another?
