Dunkeld, Birnam and District
Community Survey

Our community lacks adequate access to quality home care services. The Dunkeld & Birnam Community-Led Care Project will look at innovative ways to meet our local care needs. We have a great opportunity to create something that will work for our community and enhance the lives of our family, friends and neighbours.

Why?
Dunkeld, Birnam and District Community Development Trust would like individuals to have the choice to stay in the comfort of their own homes and receive care at home. By working together, we can create a strong support system that enables this. We firmly believe that if we don't take on this responsibility, our community will continue to receive insufficient support.

Have your say!
The Trust are working with a group of consultants, SKS Scotland, to explore a community-led care at home service for Dunkeld & Birnam and other communities in North Perthshire. This survey will help them find out about the needs of this community.

Please take 3 minutes to answer this survey. Please ask each adult in your household to complete the survey.
Survey deadline extended: 3 October 2024.

No identifiable information will be shared with anyone outwith the research team. If you require any help with this survey please contact nickyhesketh@sksscotland.co.uk.
