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