A care centre in Aberdeen is celebrating one year of helping people in their homes.
Sue Ryder Dee View Court has assisted more than 70 people in the north-east in this capacity since launching its self-management service.
Volunteers play a crucial role in this by helping those with neurological conditions regain their confidence and understand their condition.
And staff, volunteers and services users got together this week to mark the occasion.
Service leader Julie Scoullar said she was looking to help more people in the year ahead and encouraged people to get involved.
She said: “We’re thrilled that in its first year our self-management service has helped over 70 Aberdeen locals with complex neurological needs remain in their own homes and maintain a quality of life.
“This next year we would like to extend our care to even more Aberdeen locals, and so we’d love to recruit some extra befriending volunteers.
“Previous care experience is welcome, but not essential as we provide full training.
She added: “What’s most important is a friendly manner, a sense of humour and a few hours spare each week to make a real difference to someone’s life.”
