From our charity 24 hours of touch rugby event, we were pleased to hand over a cheque for £1,565 to Erskine – The Veterans Charity, which were one of our 3 chosen charities we supported.
Erskine provides unrivalled support to Veterans in Scotland, through four care homes and a Veterans Village, comprising of 44 cottages, an Activities Centre, five Assisted Living Apartments and 24 Transitional Supported Apartments. Their strength lies in the very special blend of dedicated care, compassion and understanding we offer to residents and their families.
Erskine care for nearly 1,000 residents each year; with care homes providing Veterans with the companionship of like-minded people. Erskine not only care for their Veterans – they care about them.
Their person-centred care is tailored to the needs of each individual Veteran. All bedrooms open to a general living space with dining areas and are fully accessible with en-suite facilities. The dedicated activities team provide social activities, entertainment and organise day or evening trips which are of huge importance to resident’s health and wellbeing.
For Veterans who need help to begin the next chapter of their lives, Erskine offers social, recreation and training facilities at the Activity Centre, single and family accommodation and employment opportunities in partnership with Scotland Bravest Manufacturing Co.- all within a Veterans Village setting supporting Veterans of all ages.
A truly well deserving charity and who were overwhelmed by the kind donations from the supporters of Bishopton Rugby Club.
