Wellbeing and support in Perth & Kinross

Welcome to PKAVS

PKAVS is here to help people in Perth & Kinross live healthier, more connected lives. Whether you’re caring for someone, looking for community support, or facing practical challenges, we’ll help you find the right support at the right time.

How can we help you today?

I'm caring for a family member or friend

Get practical and emotional support as an unpaid carer – whatever your age

I’m looking for support with my mental health

Join our therapeutic activities to build to build confidence, skills and routine in a safe outdoor space

I need help getting out and about

We loan mobility scooters and wheelchairs to help you stay active and independent

I’m running a charity or community group

Get free support with governance, funding, training and volunteering, plus a stronger voice for your organisation locally and nationally.

I need help with the essentials

We provide things like bedding, toiletries and kitchenware – available by referral through a support worker or professional

I now feel that with a wider friendship base I’m able to shake off those bad times and get more enjoyment out of life

Together, we make a difference!

Every year, PKAVS supports thousands of people across Perth & Kinross to feel healthier, more connected, and more supported in their communities. Our vision is for a place where everyone can live fulfilled lives, and where neighbours, friends, and families can thrive together.

You can also support us by volunteering your time and skills – visit our Volunteer page to learn more.
