Bield Housing & Care

Bield Housing & Care are one of the largest providers of housing and support services for older people with over 5,000 customers across 23 local authority areas in Scotland.

We are a not-for-profit organisation, a Scottish charity and a Registered Social Landlord. Our vision is a Scotland where people of all ages are respected, can make their own choices and are able to lead independent, fulfilling lives.

'We are very excited to be the Scottish testbed for TAPPI2. This has huge potential to shift thinking on how housing can be integral to new models of delivery in the integration agenda. Most importantly, it will be delivered together with older people to improve the outcomes that matter to them.'

Dr Lynne Douglas, CEO, Bield Housing & Care
