December 2007

Ochil & South Perthshire MP Gordon Banks visited Ancaster House in Crieff last week to be given a tour and the opportunity to speak with staff and residents.

Mr. Banks said - “I was pleased to take up the invitation from the management of Ancaster House to come along and be given a tour of the home to see the good work done by staff which is greatly appreciated by residents who receive a high level of quality care at BLESMA.”

“The visit also gave me an idea of the challenges that the home faces and what support is required in the future.”

“BLESMA has a proud tradition in Crieff stretching back to the 1960s and they play a valuable role in the community to locals, but indeed to those from further afield. I hope Ancaster House will continue its delivery of quality care for veterans for many years to come and that the excellent services provided by BLESMA and its staff will go from strength to strength.”

“I am also grateful to BLESMA for their excellent hospitality and I hope that I can be of assistance to BLESMA in the future.”
