Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage'

Shetland Care Attendant Scheme (SCAS) provides regular respite breaks to unpaid carers in their own homes (including overnights) throughout Shetland. This is done by employing and training Care Attendants who go into carers' homes and look after their dependents/loved ones while the carers are out/having a break. This allows carers to continue in their vital caring roles and also benefits the people being cared for at home by providing social interaction, engaging in activities or going out with someone outwith family.

Objectives: The company's objects are 4.1 to relieve stress on the person or family caring for physically or mentally disabled or elderly persons, and 4.2 in appropriate circumstances to care for disabled or elderly persons living alone. 5 The company's objects are restricted to those set out in article 4 (but subject to article 6). 6 The company may (subject to first obtaining the consent of OSCR) add to, remove or alter the statement of the company's objects in article 4. on any occasion when it does so, it must give notice to the registrar of companies and the amendment will not be effective until that notice is registered on the register of companies.
