Calm Home Support Programme
Calm Home Support Programme
We are absolutely delighted to be able to offer the Calm Home Support Programme, and it genuinely would not have been possible without the support of Scottish Ministers, the Borders Local Action Group (LAG) and Scottish Borders Council through the Community Led Local Development (CLLD) fund. We are so grateful.
Ten households across Peebles and the Scottish Borders will receive completely free, hands-on practical support from us, and we cannot wait to get started.
What is it?
The Calm Home Support Programme is a free, practical in-home support service for people who are finding their home environment hard to manage. We come to you, we work alongside you, and we help you get on top of things at your own pace and without any judgement.
Whether it is a kitchen that has become unusable, a bedroom that no longer feels like your own, or a home that is just completely overwhelming to be in, we are here to help you reset and move forward.
Who is it for?
This programme is for adults and families in Peebles and the Scottish Borders who are struggling at home. That might be because of:

Is it really free?
Yes, completely. Thanks to funding from Scottish Ministers through the Borders Local Action Group (LAG) and administered by Scottish Borders Council, we are able to offer this service at absolutely no cost to the households we support. There is no catch and nothing to pay at any point.
How to get support
Referrals come through a professional or support worker. If you think this could help you, please speak to your GP, social prescriber, school, pastoral support staff or any other support service you are already connected with and ask them to get in touch with us.
You are also very welcome to contact us directly for a chat. We are happy to talk things through and help you figure out if this is the right support for you.
