Improving Wellbeing, Empowering Communities

Every year, we help thousands of local people to improve their wellbeing and connect with those around them. Our goal is for a Perth & Kinross where local peoples’ lives are fulfilled and they flourish in communities that support each other.

You can help us to achieve this Vision by kindly donating to our work. Any donation that you make will help to improve the lives of those living throughout Perthshire.

Visit our Support Us page to find out more about how you can donate today. Alternatively, click on the Donate Button on the right-hand side of the screen. Visit our Volunteer Section if you would like to find out more about volunteering for PKAVS.

You will be able to donate once, make a regular donation, or even choose an area of PKAVS that you would like your donation to go to.

Thank you for your kind support!

Daniel recently started to attend our fortnightly respite groups after seeing our Young Carers Awareness Day campaign. He has attended groups since then, meeting up with friends from his school and striking up new friendships with fellow carers.

He currently receives one-to-one telephone support, which his mum has said is a “real boost” and is very grateful for this as it helps him talking to someone outside the family about his thoughts and feelings.
