The Lochcarron Centre (TLC) charity is based in the Howard Doris Centre in Lochcarron.
We provide a welcoming, safe, and warm multi-purpose venue offering a focus for the community with a range of services and facilities.
Outreach
We provide outreach meals for the elderly and vulnerable members of our community. Cooked fresh here in our kitchen and delivered door to door by our incredible volunteers.
Friendship Group
Our Friendship group meet for weekly activities run by our volunteers. The group is for anyone in our community who is looking for friendship, new hobbies, and a sense of community, or just an excuse to get out of the house!
Volunteering
Our spectacular volunteers are the life force of TLC, and we appreciate all the work they do. Would you like to get involved? Do you have a few spare hours a week to help? Would you like to meet more people in the community? If so, we would love to hear from you! No role is too small, no amount of time is too short, all help is hugely appreciated.
Our Garden Room Cafe is a volunteer-led community cafe that serves a variety of delicious meals and plenty of sweet treats!
We are open Wednesday – Friday, 10am – 3pm.
