A big thank you to Rangers FC player Lyall Cameron for stopping by our Tullideph Outreach office to sign a Rangers top for Douglas’ birthday. Douglas receives support from our Tullideph learning disability service in Dundee, and support worker Ellie went out of her way to make this surprise happen.

This is just one example of the care and commitment our Hillcrest Futures teams bring to the people they support every day to help make special memories.

Lyall is pictured with Tullideph service manager, Ann Timmons.
