Our community support services
At Forfar Community Connections, we provide a warm, inclusive drop-in space for anyone navigating loneliness, isolation, or low mood. No referrals, no waiting lists—just friendly faces ready to listen and connect.
What we offer
We all need support at different times in our lives. Through genuine human connection, understanding, and practical help, we're here to help you feel less alone and more connected within your local community.
A chat over a cuppa
Pop in whenever you need a change of scenery. Enjoy a warm tea or coffee and relaxed conversation in a friendly, pressure-free setting.
Peer support & one-to-one chats
Share your experiences with people who understand. Whether in an informal group or a quiet one-to-one conversation, our team is here with an open ear.
Signposting & local links
When you need more specialised assistance, we help direct and connect you to trusted professional organisations and health services across Angus.
A listening ear, right when you need it
We are a peer-led listening and signposting service, not a clinical mental health provider. Our dedicated Project Manager and trained volunteers tackle isolation by offering genuine community care and helping you find the right specialised guidance if you need it.
Meet our team
Behind every service we provide is a dedicated team of professionals, each bringing their unique expertise and enthusiasm to our business.

Nervous about your first visit?
Walking through the door for the first time can feel daunting. If coming in alone feels like too much, let us know beforehand. Our Project Manager or a volunteer buddy can meet you outside the building, or even speak with you on the phone first so you see a familiar, friendly face the moment you arrive.
Open to everyone in Forfar
You don't need a doctor's referral, a prior booking, or an appointment to join us. Our drop-in doors are open to any adult facing loneliness, isolation, or low mood. Drop by, meet our community, and take things entirely at your own pace.
