Bon Accord Care

From 17 November to 14 December 2025, we asked people across Aberdeen to share their views on 13 ideas to help us stay within budget for 2026–2027.
During this period, ACHSCP ran an online survey, hosted 10 in person meetings across the city, and held 2 sessions specifically for British Sign Language (BSL) users.
The feedback we received played a key role in helping the Integration Joint Board (IJB) – who plan, commission, and oversee health and social care services in Aberdeen – decide which options were necessary to achieve the required £14.5 million in savings.
The table below shows:
1️⃣ The budget options considered
2️⃣ Survey results (the percentage of people who felt each option would have a high negative impact)
3️⃣ The reasons behind the IJB’s decisions
The importance of public feedback
On our YouTube channel (https://rebrand.ly/010339 ), Integration Joint Board (IJB) Chair for the Aberdeen City Health and Social Care Partnership, Hussein Patwa, explains the budget setting and saving process. He also highlights the importance of the views of people in Aberdeen in guiding the IJB come to its decisions

Throwback Thursday💜⬅️🤩

A huge thank you to Gillian & Tracy from Tesco Woodend for their lovely donations that they gave to Kingswood Day Centre to help with Christmas presents back in December!

A huge thank you to Craigdon Mountain Sports for their fantastic support! ❄️ 💜

With the adverse weather creating real challenges for our teams this week we contacted Craigdon Mountain Sports to enquire about getting Yaktrax for our support teams, to help maximise grip when out and about to ensure safety.

Craigdon Mountain Sports Director Mary, was both very friendly and helpful and made the whole process a breeze, thank you for your help Mary!

Thank you to Craigdon Mountain Sports for your support, this equipment will make a genuine difference to our teams working in adverse weather conditions.

It has been brilliant to see such strong community spirit over the last few days — and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported Bon Accord Care during this adverse weather!🥰

🌟 A huge well done to our amazing Kingswood Court team and our Responders! 🌟

Over the past two mornings some of our BAC team members have helped a neighbour of the service to free her car when it became stuck in the snow after a night shift.

Despite finishing their own shifts, the responders and some of the Kingswood Court Team helped without hesitation, demonstrating some of our key values, teamwork and compassion.

Well done everyone! ❄️💜

🥰 Good News Story 🥰

We would like to give a shout-out to one of our team member's husband (Kev) and his father (Bill) who had been out clearing all the paths and car park at our Janesfield service earlier this week week. 😇

Thank you very much! 💜

🌟A huge well done to Luigi from our Kingswells Care Home team!🌟

After finishing a 12‑hour night shift in the middle of the recent adverse weather, Luigi stopped and offered two people a lift to ARI, when no buses were running, allowing them to get to work.

This small act of kindness made a big difference and it perfectly reflects the compassion, community spirit, and dedication our staff show every single day.

Thank you for going above and beyond Luigi💜❄️

🥰 Good News Story 🥰

We wanted to give a big shout out to an amazing person who helped members of our Responder Team earlier this week.

A member of the public stopped and supported 2 of our team who were walking to one of our Very Sheltered Housing buildings to get another car, after having to abandon 1 stuck in the snow. This allowed them to continue to respond to people we support across the city for urgent unplanned care and emergencies.

Thank you so much to this person for their act of kindness 💜
