Common questions

Here are answers to the most common questions about visiting our drop-in centre and accessing our local support services in Forfar.

Do I need a referral or appointment to visit?

No referral is ever needed. You can simply walk in during our open drop-in hours whenever you feel like having company or need someone to speak to.

Are your services free of charge?

Yes, all our drop-in sessions, peer groups, and listening appointments are completely free for anyone in the community.

What happens when I arrive for the first time?

You will be greeted by a friendly volunteer, offered a warm tea or coffee, and invited to sit wherever you feel most comfortable. There is never any pressure to talk.

Can I bring a friend or family member with me?

Absolutely. You are very welcome to bring a friend, family member, or carer with you if that helps you feel more at ease.

How can I volunteer or get involved?

We are always looking for compassionate local volunteers. Please drop by our centre or get in touch via email to learn about current opportunities.

Can I book a quiet, private chat?

Yes. If you prefer a confidential one-to-one discussion away from the main lounge area, our team will be pleased to arrange that for you.
