Local Initiative Aims to Build Care Home for Elderly in South Ayrshire
At 88, Rosemary Stevenson tirelessly leads a community effort in Ballantrae to secure overnight care for the elderly. Her charity, Ballantrae Rural Initiative Care in the Community (BRICC), has raised over £1.5m to support local seniors and aims to build a much-needed care home with a dementia unit. Despite facing construction challenges, including rising costs and diminished volunteer numbers, the group is determined to create a facility that allows residents to remain close to their families and friends. Community solidarity is paramount as they strive to turn their vision into reality.
