Branch Information
Berwickshire is the oldest Interest Link Branch, having been in operation since 1990. It has 65 service users.  It is based in the Berwickshire Association for Voluntary Service office, at Platform One, Station Road in Duns and works closely with Lanark Lodge Day Service, Eildon and Ark Housing Associations and Mountview and Lennel House Nursing Homes.

Recent innovations have included piloting the Buddies Evening Class Service and starting a group visiting service at Lennel House.

The current Co-ordinator, Lesley Stephenson has been in post since June 2005.  Lesley is helped by the Assistant Co-ordinator, Susan Fleming.

Lesley and Susan are assisted and advised by the Branch Committee, which is made up of service users, volunteers, carers and representatives of local care providers.
