Moving Assistance Project Active
Started 2015. The first stage of the Falkirk Moving Assistance project ran until March 2016. Now we are working on more ideas in a second stage. The idea for the project came from older people who said they would like to move house but didn’t know where to start. We are also working on tips for people who are coming home from hospital- you can find our draft version of these in our Resource section below- please email any feedback or suggestions to ciara@otbds.org.
