About us

Who We Are

Our organisation was established in 1991 to provide support for unpaid carers across Stirling. We were originally known as Carers Forum Stirling Area until 1996, when we registered with OSCR and Companies House and became Stirling Carers Centre.

We have continued to thrive and grow ever since, most recently expanding our to Clackmannanshire in 2026. The organisation is regarded as the primary support organisation for unpaid carers in the Stirling and Clackmannanshire Council areas.

Our vision is that unpaid carers in the Stirling and Clackmannanshire districts are empowered and supported in their caring roles. Carers’ voices will shape our services, and should feed into local and national policy and decision-making.

Our Values

These are at the heart of everything that Stirling and Clackmannanshire Carers sets out to achieve to advance the everyday quality of life for carers living and working across Stirling and Clackmannanshire.

Our Values are expressed in three clear ways across all our branding in our efforts to be:

Empowering

SCC believes in empowering carers to fulfil their caring roles effectively, improve their wellbeing and everyday quality of life. We will empower carers to know their rights and achieve equality within their wider communities.

Inclusive

SCC is inclusive of all carers and we embrace diversity and equality of opportunity. We believe all carers have a voice that must be heard and included in local and national decision-making processes, regardless of visible and invisible differences.

Accountable

Carers have the right to hold SCC accountable for the quality and delivery of our services, and to seek transparency on any process. SCC will champion the rights of carers and hold external agencies accountable on behalf of, and at the request of, carers.
