A Falkirk Council's project, which has been designed to support vulnerable residents, has won the Digital Communities Award at the recently concluded Herald Digital Transformation Awards 2021. 

 

The council's analog to digital telecare project has been successfully implemented to overcome outdated technology barriers. 

 

The scheme is one of six shortlisted in the above-mentioned category, which recognises "an individual, group or organisation who has used technology to help their local community." The panel of judges said that they were" very impressed by the work and effort put in by Falkirk Council to ensure the safety of its most vulnerable."

 

Falkirk Council Leader Cecil Meiklejohn said: “All those involved in the project have worked tirelessly to make it happen – from the project team itself, to those working in MECS, partner organisations and service users.

 

"It really has been a team effort and shows what can be achieved when we work together to create positive change.

 

"Congratulations to you all. A well-deserved win.”
