Compassionate Inverclyde is a community-driven organisation committed to fostering a kinder, more caring Inverclyde. Inspired by the belief that everyone has a valuable role to play, we bring together people from all walks of life to create positive change.
Our journey began in 2016 when local residents identified loneliness, isolation, and the challenges surrounding death, dying, and bereavement as key issues. Through listening to the community, we discovered shared values of kindness, helpfulness, and neighbourliness.
Since then, we’ve fostered a network of volunteers, community groups, and local organisations working together to improve well-being, promote compassionate citizenship, raise awareness about kindness, and create compassionate workplaces. Our initiatives range from befriending services and community cafes to practical support and education.
We believe in the power of human connection and the importance of supporting each other, especially in times of need. By working together, we can create a community where everyone feels valued and cared for.
