Deveron District Age Concern
Since it's formation over 20 years ago, Deveron District Age Concern has been there to support and help the local community. We are an independant registered charity (SC007671) for the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage.
From our charity shop located in Macduff, we provide an important wide range of initial senior citizen signposting and information services, local community grants and donations. Despite our name we are not restricted by Age and our services are available to everyone.
Working with local groups such as Banffshire Partnership and Boyndie Trust we are able to provide community services such as our Lunch Club. We also work with the local hospital to provide discharge packs, and other local authorities to provide help for those in need.
There's always a large selection of quality donated goods on sale in our charity shop. Our dedicated volunteers will always make you feel welcome and there are often daily bargains to be had.
All income from the sale of goods after expenses goes back into the local community as grants and donations to deserving causes.
Banffshire Partnership, Deveron District Age Concern and Boyndie Trust are working together to run a weekly Lunch Club.
Held at Boyndie Visitor Centre, it costs just £5 for a two course lunch with Tea or Coffee. Banffshire Partnership's buses are wheelchair-accessible and run in four local areas, free of charge.
We consider opportunities under our charitable status, whether it be maintenance of village halls, Christmas entertainment in local Sheltered Housing Communities or Talking Newspapers for the blind.
We award grants for the relief of local organisations or groups in need by reason of age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage.
We have many dedicated volunteers that work in our charity shop processing donations and selling a wide variety of goods to support our fund raising.
Volunteering it is a great way to meet new friends in a fun and relaxed environment and you will be helping to provide continued support within the local community.
