Our Home Manager - Hayley McKay, has organised a fundraiser to support our colleague Daniel after a devastating house fire.

Daniel recently went through something no one ever expects to face. A fire at his home destroyed almost everything he owns. Overnight, he lost his belongings, his memories, and the essentials we all take for granted.

Daniel is one of our most dedicated support workers, always giving his time, care, and compassion to others. Now it’s our chance to come together and support him.

The fundraiser aims to help Daniel rebuild from the ground up, covering essentials like clothing, furniture, and securing a new place to live. Every contribution, no matter the amount, makes a genuine difference.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing the fundraiser is just as appreciated.

Thank you to everyone who has already shown kindness and support. Let’s rally around Daniel and help him move forward with the strength of our community behind him.

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟

We’re delighted to share that Baillieston Community Care has once again secured funding from Creative Breaks! 💙

This funding allows us to continue offering short respite breaks at home for unpaid carers, giving them the chance to rest, recharge, and take time for themselves while knowing their loved one is well supported.

Supporting carers is at the heart of what we do, and we’re proud to keep making a difference through this vital programme.

If you are interested in the project, please contact our Service Manager on 0141 771 6478. You can also email her at lorna@bailliestoncommunitycare.co.uk

This week is Trustees’ Week!

Trustees’ Week is a time to celebrate the incredible people who volunteer their time, skills, and experience to help charities thrive. Their guidance and leadership are the backbone of good governance and play a vital role in ensuring organisations like ours can make a real and lasting difference in the community.

To mark the occasion, our Chief Executive, David Reilly, is attending an SCVO Trustees’ Week Conference in Glasgow — joining other charity leaders and board members from across Scotland to share learning, celebrate success, and strengthen the future of governance in the third sector.

We’d like to give a special mention and heartfelt thanks to our very own Board of Trustees for their ongoing commitment, insight, and invaluable contributions. Their dedication helps steer Baillieston Community Care & Extended Personal Care forward with integrity, compassion, and a clear vision for the future.
