Larbert Parish Nursing Association was set up in 1894 in conjunction with the Queen Victoria Jubilee Institute for Nursing, to employ a district nurse for the sick poor of Larbert parish. The name was changed to Larbert Parish & Carron District Nursing Association in 1919 when Carron District was set up and a second district nurse employed, following a bequest from Miss Dawson’s Trust. In 1950. following the establishment of the National Health Service, the Association developed a Cy pres scheme to wind up the association and make the funds available for for the benefit of “sick, infirm, crippled and old people, mothers, expectant mothers and children in the Parish of Larbert and Carron District”
