Caring and Connected Clackmannan was formed to address the issues faced by our community, such as the cost-of-living crisis, food insecurity, rising energy costs and the lack of support for older residents. The partnership includes representatives from the Primary School, Parish Church, Tenants and Residents Federation, Community Council, Medical Practice, Health and Social Care Partnership, Community Police, Pharmacy and Local Authority. We meet monthly to share updates and concerns, and welcome visitors from other local organisations to share information about their services.

Following discussions at Caring & Connected meetings, the Community Space and One Stop Shop were launched in 2023 to support local residents during the cost of living crisis. Sweeten Your Community With A Story brings together volunteer readers with pupils from the primary school to share stories and promote an interest in reading.  This popular initiative was introduced pre-Covid and relaunched in December 2023.

Suitable for anyone with reduced mobility, balance or age-related issues including dementia, this gentle class teaches a range of seated movements to get moving and from the comfort of a chair. With a mood-boosting soundtrack and plenty of chat, it’s a great way to stay active and and enjoy the social benefits of a group activity.

Tuesdays at the Bruce Lounge 10 – 11.30
