The Abbeyfield Society is a national organisation with over 1000 house all over Great Britain and there is one house in Stirling near the town centre.
All the societies are managed and run by volunteers who give freely of their time and expertise to help older people, thus keeping the cost to a minimum so that the monthly fees are well within the means of retired people. The volunteers are there for the residents, to talk and listen, to take them shopping and to functions, church, meetings, outings etc. as, and when required.
