What We Do

We are committed to helping you access appropriate support so you can live the life you choose.

From one-to-one advice, to advocacy, group activities and specialist workshops, there are many ways that we can support you in managing your condition, reconnecting with others, and improving your daily lives.

Within the Scottish Borders, we currently support people living with a traumatic or acquired brain injury via the Borders Brain Injury Service. We are also experienced in supporting individuals living with Alzheimer’s Disease, and other forms of dementia, declining cognitive functioning, and neurocognitive ability.

We find that many individuals need support in their daily lives from DCF to help with:

• Their mental health needs, such as anxiety, depression, stress and PTSD.
• Social isolation and loneliness: We connect people with community-based provision or deliver befriending, peer support and inclusion workshops to support the development of valued connections and fill gaps in provision.
• Self-management of their health conditions and support with daily living skills to enable greater independence and wellbeing

Borders Brain Injury Service

Borders Brain Injury Service (BBIS) is a council funded programme that helps individuals who are living with brain injuries. We also provide support to family members/carers of adults and children who are living with a brain injury.

Set goals and action plans to improve your health and overall well-being
Develop coping strategies to manage your daily life
Develop the skills and confidence you need to live independently and make plans for your future

To access this service, you should be a resident of the Scottish Borders and aged 16 years and over. BBIS works with individuals with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

Volunteer and Peer Project

Dynamic Community Fusion received funding through the Community Mental Health and Wellbeing fund that was distributed from Borders Community Action from the Scottish Government.

This funding has allowed us to deliver a 12-month project until March 2027 to add value to our existing brain injury service. We have been able to provide the Scottish Borders with an additional four monthly groups, for brain injury survivors, their families and carers. Through this we have also been able to recruit additional volunteers to support the work we do.

Connect to Work

Dynamic Community Fusion is a specialist delivery partner within the Connect to Work programme, working alongside Triage to provide tailored health and wellbeing support for participants across the North East.

Our role is to help individuals overcome health and wellbeing barriers that may affect their ability to find, secure or sustain employment. Through personalised support, we empower people to build confidence, develop practical coping strategies, and strengthen the foundations needed for long-term success in work and life.

We work with:

People who are currently out of work and would benefit from personalised support to progress towards employment.
People who are already in work and need help managing health and wellbeing challenges to remain in employment and thrive in their role.

Following a referral through the Connect to Work programme, our specialist team takes the time to understand each individual's circumstances, strengths and aspirations:

Using a person-centred approach, we work alongside participants to identify any health and wellbeing barriers they may be experiencing and agree the support that will have the greatest impact. Together, we create a tailored action plan and develop practical tools and strategies that participants can use throughout their employment journey and beyond.
Our aim is not only to help people move closer to work, but to support lasting wellbeing, resilience and confidence that enables them to achieve their personal and employment goals.
