Welcome to our Website




At The East Kilbride & District Dementia Carers Group, We believe that people with dementia and their carers have the right to be treated according to human rights based principles set out in the Charter of Rights for People with Dementia and their Carers, regardless of where they are, and in every part of their daily lives.

This charter aims to empower people with dementia, those who support them and the community as a whole, to ensure their rights are recognised and respected.

We have adopted the Charter of Rights for People with Dementia and their Carers in Scotland as a core policy.

The Charter of Rights will be distributed to all Service Users, Carers, Staff and Volunteers, and will be promoted at every opportunity.


You can also support the charter, by going to www.dementiarights.org and signing the online petition.



Quality Standard Plus Award

SoLVE award photo, Brian Doig, Peter Molloy, Russell Clearie, and John VanceJohn Vance, Peter Molloy and Brian Doig attended a reception at SLC Headquarters in Almada Street, to accept the above award on behalf of the Group

Eight voluntary organisations received the Quality Standard Award, and two (ourselves and the WRVS Hairmyres Hospital Shop) both received the Quality Standard Plus award. The award was made following a very thorough audit of our systems and procedures, and an interview with our manager and a volunteer.

As well as being excellent publicity for the Group, it is evidence of the high standards of policies and procedures within the Group, as well as the way in which we implement them.

Our thanks to all at SoLVE for the nomination and award. Check out the Volunteer Centre website at http://www.solve.org.uk/.
