Origins
Brechin Healthcare Group formed in 2015, following a drastic reduction in local healthcare provision. A steering group of concerned members of the community was formed after a public meeting, to try to improve the situation on behalf of fellow community members.
Initially, the Group was a sub-group of Brechin Community Council, and subsequently became a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) in September 2017.
Our charitable purposes are:
- To advance Health and the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill health, disability, or financial hardship or other disadvantage.
- To advance Health, through the provision of medical equipment and facilities and through the provision of relief to those suffering from illness.
We Believe
- In local health services that are available and accessible to ALL
