An emotional film of a care home resident singing with his daughter on a video call during lockdown is just one of the new Inspiring Care Stories published by Scottish Social Services Council yesterday.
The story from the Crossreach St Margaret’s care home in Polmont shows how staff supported residents and families to keep in touch when face-to-face visits couldn’t take place and just how much it meant to the gentleman and his family is clear from watching the film.

This is the second phase of our Inspiring Care Stories campaign which show how the social service workforce has faced and dealt with the challenges of COVID-19 and gone the extra mile to support people using services and each other.
The latest stories feature a number from workers who have had amazing support from colleagues and highlight just how important that’s been in delivering the best possible levels of care.
We’ve published 18 new stories from lots of different areas including:
- Fife
- Lossiemouth
- Clackmannanshire
- Edinburgh
- Stornoway
- Dumfries and Galloway
- Glasgow.
The stories are the latest from 70 we’ve gathered from all types of social services right across Scotland.
All the stories published so far are in our new online Inspiring Care Stories resource www.sssc.uk.com/inspiringcarestories and we’ll publish more in September.
