The Participation Group brings together people supported by Care Support Scotland to meet, connect and have a real say in how services work.
"The best services are designed around the people who use them. This group is proof that person-centred care is more than a value on a wall, it's something we build together every month."
- Sharon Melrose, Care Support Scotlands
The Participation Group is made up of people who use Care Support Scotland’s services. We get together and talk about what’s working, raise ideas and help shape decisions that influence how the organisation is run.
Supported people, their families and our staff are all welcome to join. We meet once a month for a relaxed session over tea, coffee, cake and good conversation.

Got a suggestion, big or small? Let us know! Whether it's a fix, an improvement, or a totally new idea, we want to hear it.
Anyone supported by Care Support Scotland is welcome. You don’t need any experience and we don’t expect commitment right away. You can come along to a meeting, meet the group and decide if you’d like to come back.
Families and staff can help by sharing the group with supported people who might be interested.
