Member Spotlight: “We have a voice, and we can and must use it to influence change”
In this video, CrossReach CEO Viv Dickenson talks about the organisation’s wide range of services, and the importance of speaking up for those in need of support.
CrossReach delivers care and support across Scotland. Through specialist teams in Children and Families, Adult Care and Older people, they operate over 70 services as the social care arm of the Church of Scotland.
The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, Rt Rev Rosie Frew recently spent time with CrossReach, visiting a number of services. The short film series ‘Love from CrossReach’ captures these visits. The series explores the motivation behind work of CrossReach, meets staff who work for the organisation, and introduces some people who receive support.
In this latest episode, ‘It’s Complicated’, the challenges within the social care system are explored. Hear from Viv Dickenson, CEO of CrossReach, about the importance of working together with other social care providers, so that we can ensure those in government are well informed about the challenges being faced in Scotland today.
