Spotlight Saturday is on our Louise! She joined us with no experience in care and quickly became our most in demand Angel! From the moment we interviewed Louise, we knew we'd found someone special who truly represents who we are and what it means to be a Visiting Angel. She was so nervous to begin with and together we built her confidence through training and support and you wouldn't believe she hadn't been doing this her whole life! We are so grateful we found you Louise, on behalf of our team and clients, thank you for being you✨

It’s Edinburgh Pride today 🏳️‍🌈🥳🎉 This month we were delighted to attend LGBTQ+ inclusivity in Ageing and Dementia training with Dementia Services Development Centre (DSDC) It was a fantastic day surrounded by amazing people. It was heartbreaking, empowering, eye opening in a positive and supportive environment. Seeing how many people are dedicated to learning how best to further support and understand their clients was special to see and be a part of. All clients deserve to be celebrated for who they are and the incredible lives they’ve lived. We felt great pride receiving our certificates 🥰

We were delighted to finally meet Jean from LGBT Health and Wellbeing who we’ve partnered with to give support and advice about accessing and receiving care to the elderly members of the community.

We want to say a massive thank you to Dave who trained us. Congratulations for winning the ‘outstanding contribution to dementia award’ this week! You are so inspiring and we can’t wait to work with you in the future.

Happy pride everyone! 🏳️‍🌈
