About Our Inclusive Community Project

Capability Scotland delivers exemplary care, support, and education for disabled children and adults across Scotland.

Founded in 1946 Capability Scotland has always strived to be a major ally in supporting disabled people to have full equality of opportunity and participation as citizens of Scotland.
The re-provisioning of the services at Upper Springland, Isla Road, Perth at a new city centre site on Glover Street, Perth represents the most significant, complex and exciting strategic project Capability Scotland will have undertaken in recent times.
For years, we have recognised the need to develop modern facilities of which we can be proud of, whilst we are confident that the quality of care provided by our dedicated staff team is excellent – top grades in Care Inspectorate visits prove this. Sadly, the property at Upper Springland lets us down – state-of-the-art in its day but now showing its age, it requires substantial investment to bring it anywhere near acceptable standards.
Coupled with flood risk assessments and an increasing incidence of flood events, it is now essential that we break over 40 years of association with the Isla Road site and move elsewhere.

The Glover Street site, identified after a wide-ranging assessment, offers a financially sustainable and integrated location. Perth & Kinross Council’s role in identifying and progressing the new location has been pivotal, with both parties committed to a collaborative approach that safeguards more than 200 jobs and ensures vital continuity of care for around 100 people with complex needs.

It is rare that at charity with 80 years of history, has the opportunity to start with a blank canvas – to re-imagine our services, to be at the heart of a new community and deliver exemplary services – to be a national resource.

Our Inclusive Community Project affords us that, a once-in-a-generation opportunity to be at the heart of a new and growing community, achieving our mission of delivering the highest quality services, tailored to the individual needs of disabled people we support.
