About Forfar Community Connections
We are a welcoming charity drop-in dedicated to supporting people facing loneliness, isolation, and mental health challenges across Forfar. By bringing people together through shared interests and open conversation, we ensure no one has to walk their journey alone.
Our story and mission
Forfar Community Connections was born from a deep passion to support, connect, and empower our local community. Strong social connections are essential for our physical and mental well-being, yet too many people face difficult times in isolation. We were inspired to bridge this gap by uniting people through shared activities, creating a supportive network where everyone feels valued, heard, and encouraged to live the life they choose.
What to expect when you visit
Walking through our doors for the first time can feel like a daunting step, but we promise you a warm, relaxed, and judgment-free welcome. You will find a friendly face ready to offer a hot drink, a comfortable place to sit, and a community of people who genuinely care. There is never any pressure to do anything other than enjoy good company—you are welcome exactly as you are.
The team behind our charity
Behind Forfar Community Connections is a dedicated team led by our Project Manager alongside an inspiring group of local volunteers. While day-to-day coordination keeps our doors open, our Volunteer Buddy and Peer Support Workers are the true heartbeat of what we do. Together, we work hand-in-hand to rebuild confidence, nurture belonging, and help individuals take positive control of their well-being.
"Walking into the centre was the turning point for me. Having a warm cup of tea and someone who genuinely listened helped me feel part of the community again."
