About Us

We are an independent charitable organisation set up in 1992. We are entirely run by volunteers, some with a disability.

​

This gives us greater understanding of our clients' needs as we know first hand some of the difficulties they face.

Serving: 

  • Stirling District

  • Rural Stirling 

  • Hillfoots

  • Clackmannan

  • Wider Forth Valley 

Wallace monument and Stirling Old Bridge

We assist and support around 500 people each year to access their rights

Our Aim

Our aim is to offer practical and emotional support and advice to anyone in Stirling and the surrounding area who has, or cares for, someone who has a disability or chronic health condition.

 

We strive to tackle inequalities. Our volunteers will help clients access their rights and support them, be it navigating the welfare benefit system, assist with housing applications, aids, grants or welfare fund assistance. This is always done with sensitivity and respect.

 

Clients will often come back to us when they just want someone to listen.
