The ALLIANCE’s membership of over 3500 individuals and organisations represents a diverse cross section of health and social care in Scotland. Many working from the third sector are delivering tremendous impact to the individuals and communities with whom they work for. As part of the ‘Our Voice, Our Rights, Our Future’ ALLIANCE Annual Conference 2024, we visited 4 such organisations to highlight that delivery towards the future change is going on all around us.

From Edinburgh to Stornoway, witness firsthand the transformative work being done by organisations like MacCaulay College, Long Term Conditions Hebrides (LTCH), Networking Key Services (NKS) and Affa Sair. Through interviews and on-site footage, delve into the challenges faced and the remarkable solutions implemented to foster change and improve lives. Join us as we explore the power of community, resilience, and innovation in shaping a brighter future for individuals and communities across Scotland.

Stories of Caring (A Concert for Caring)
Last September, the ALLIANCE hosted our Concert for Caring as an opportunity to celebrate the immeasurable work of unpaid carers and the contributions of health and social care staff, as well as third-sector organisations that support people to lead fulfilling lives. We brought together 1750 people from across Scotland, providing a space for shared experiences and connections. Our second, and final, film provides a glimpse into the lives of the people who attended and their stories of love, caring, and being cared for. The first film, launched in January 2024, looks back at the fantastic moments of Concert for Caring 2023.
