Strathcarron Hospice’s “Connecting People” project started during COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions. The project aims to link community members with similar interests together so they can offer and receive friendship, and a listening ear.

There is no minimum time commitment required to get involved with the project, participants can make calls or write letters to each other at a time that suits both parties. A member of the Strathcarron Hospice team will be available to support the people who have been brought together, and to offer advice and assistance throughout their journey together.

People do not need to be associated with the hospice to get involved.

For further information, including how to get involved, please visit the Strathcarron Hospice website, or contact them by email: fv.compassionatecommunities@nhs.scot
