Highland Hospice

A huge congratulations to the teams from Culloden Academy and Kingussie High School, who are celebrating their amazing fundraising efforts for the Highland Hospice at this event organised by YPI Scotland!
By delivering incredible presentations at their schools, these teams were both able to secure grants of £3,000 for the Crocus Group, a service which offers much-needed bereavement support to young people across the Highlands. 🌷
Thanks to Youth Philanthropy Initiative Scotland for making all this possible, and for inspiring school pupils to make a positive change to their local communities. #GenerationChange 🌻

It can sometimes be easy to assume that we have nothing in common with certain people and that stops us from making new and meaningful connections.
Watch the heartwarming video below to see just how much strangers actually can have in common.
At Highland Hospice Helping Hands Befrienders we pair up a Befriender with someone within their community who would greatly benefit from informal social and practical support. Sometimes just having someone to stop by for a visit and a ch...at once a week can have a significant impact on their lives.
