Hospice care isn't always what you imagine.
Ben was a young boy when his Granny was cared for in Strathcarron. He has so many fond and emotional memories of that time.

Many of our supporters have told us they’d love more ideas and events to help raise funds in Strathcarron's 45th year of local hospice care…so we listened.
Whether you join in solo, with friends, family or colleagues, there’s a challenge for everyone.
Tourists will love the ancient bling.
Foreigners will love the pageantry.
Royal watchers will lap it up.
But for indy-supporting Scots, this rigmarole is just a powerful assertion of hierarchy, elite control and the stranglehold of the past over 'modern' Britain. #KingsSpeech
To mark International Nurses Day, we want to celebrate nurses past and present.
For 45 years, Strathcarron specialist nurses have cared for people across our local communities of Forth Valley, Cumbernauld and Kilsyth with kindness, dignity and compassion.
The fightback starts today! Anti-racists rage against Reform UK in Glasgow today, shutting down the city centre in solidarity with all our community, neighbours friends and workmates targeted by the far right. #AyeRefugees
If Reform had won in Scotland/ Wales it wd be an endorsement of detention centres, migrant hostility, austerity & welfare cuts. Question Time panels wd be full of it. But the SNP & pro indy Scottish Greens HAVE won, yet that's not an endorsement of independence. Go figure.
