Important Update: Changes to Our Falkirk Services
🌟Update on Our Falkirk Services
As many of you know, Town Break has been facing financial challenges following the full withdrawal of funding from Falkirk Health and Social Care Partnership. This funding officially ends in June 2025 and, understandably, this has had an impact on the services we’re able to provide in the Falkirk Council area.
💛We’ve Got Some Good News
We’re absolutely delighted to share that, thanks to the generosity of Talbot House (who have kindly waived their venue fee), and the incredible support from unpaid carers who set up a JustGiving (https://shorturl.at/sZVCD), we’re able to keep this service running, free of charge, for the next six months.
This has also been made possible by the flexibility and commitment of our brilliant staff team, who have agreed to reduce their contracted hours to help keep things going during this difficult time. We’re incredibly grateful.
Looking ahead, we will need to introduce a service fee once the six months are up. When that happens, we’ll make sure to speak to everyone involved and go through a full consultation with those attending and their unpaid carers before any decisions are made.
🗓️ What’s Happening with Other Services
-
The two Tuesday services at The Sensory Centre will continue to run as normal, thanks to grant funding. We’ll let you know if there are any changes.
-
The Friday Time Out service at The Sensory Centre will carry on for the next three months. After speaking with attendees, we’ve introduced a small service fee and have also extended the length of the sessions.
