| Recipient Org: Description | We were founded by family carers in 1990 and work across the Scottish Borders to improve the quality of life and wellbeing of socially excluded and disadvantaged children (aged 8+), young people and adults with learning disabilities and autism. We provide members with opportunities to grow and participate, and give much-needed respite to carers. We achieve our aims through a peer-age volunteer befriending service that supports around 200 members annually and is delivered by 11 project staff and up to 200 volunteers. Staff are based in four local branches (Berwickshire, Central Borders, Roxburgh and Tweeddale) each with its own local committee of stakeholders and working with local schools, Borders College, Social Work and care providers. Our service model has developed through regular consultation and includes traditional 1:1 links, befriending groups, school-age volunteers, overnight trips, in-school groups and distance contact. |
