This group has developed a Community Support Service for vulnerable groups in the
town and surrounding communities across East Perthshire. The Group members
collective experience and expertise covers a wide range of disciplines, enabling an
effective response to the current situation.
We have been meeting since early March to set up a local support system for people
who are self-isolating and for others who are unable to leave their homes safely.
There are four teams of three coordinators and around150 volunteers undertaking
daily tasks to support folk in need.
The Community Support Services
The services went live on Monday 30th March 2020 – for information about
this and other resources in the town, go to the Discover Blairgowrie website
The volunteer taskforce is shopping, collecting prescriptions and other
services for those who can pay for them. They are providing free food
packages for those either unable to pay due to their circumstances, or unable
to access funds in these challenging times.
Personal protective equipment has been purchased and guidance issued to
ensure safe working practice
This service will continue to exist for as long as the restrictions are
in place and people need our support

Blairgowrie & Rattray Community Support Service Fund
Helping Vulnerable People in Self-Isolation and Struggling Families
The Coronavirus Support Service urgently needs funds. Your donation will go
towards essential items such as food packages for families in crisis, self-isolating
vulnerable people and folk in our community with financial difficulties due to sudden
loss of income or other reasons, leaving them unable to access funds. It will help to
purchase protective equipment, so volunteers can shop and collect prescriptions as
safely as possible and contribute to our operating costs, telephones and transport.
