Welcome to 

PKAVS is a diverse charity which supports the community of Perth & Kinross through a number of services. Every year, we help over 5,000 local people enjoy a better quality of life, including adults with mental ill health or limited mobility and young and adult carers. As a charity, we respond to changing community needs and embrace new ideas. We promote volunteering and citizenship, and aim to ensure that those we support, particularly our young people, have every chance to succeed in life.

PKAVS has been helping people and families across Perth & Kinross for over 35 years. We are also the organisation that supports and represents the local voluntary sector. Our different services support other charities and community groups by providing information and advice, help in accessing funding and recruiting volunteers, and access to a range of affordable meeting room facilities at our premises in Perth, The Gateway.  

Our website provides information on how you can access our diverse services or support us as a donor or volunteer.
