First steps are being taken to form an innovative community-led partnership with the aim of strengthening adult social care provision for rural communities across the Highlands. This comes in response to predicted fundamental changes in care provision by statutory bodies.

When people think about community organisations, they think about services, volunteers, events, and impact. What often goes unseen is the financial structure that keeps everything running.

We are delighted to share a positive progress update on the Cow Hill Hall project as we move confidently into 2026.

We are delighted to introduce Care to Connect, a new two-year initiative dedicated to supporting unpaid adult carers aged 25 and over throughout the Lochaber area.

The Plantation Community Larder was launched in August 2024. A group of residents worked with Voluntary Action Lochaber, Lochaber Environmental Group and others for the provision of a community larder in a small, underused community hub in the Plantation.

At Voluntary Action Lochaber, we’re passionate about creating opportunities that bring people together and strengthen the bonds that make our communities vibrant and resilient.

Sometimes at the beginning of a long-term project, it can be hard to envisage exactly how things might take shape down the line. For a while, that felt like the case with the Cow Hill Hall project, until very recently.
