​

The Lippen Care Charity continues its fundraising efforts and  to fulfil its core purpose to deliver a high level of care and comfort to palliative patients, their carers and families in the Strathmore Hospice, Clova and Isla Wards and in the local community; to sponsor training of doctors and nurses in palliative care; to recruit and train the many volunteers who do sterling work in the Hospice, Clova Ward and Hospice Kiosk, to recruit complementary therapists; and to provide volunteer befrienders.  

​

Our volunteers come from all walks of life and benefit as much from their work with us as we do from their skills, enthusiasm and commitment.

​

Our Befriending Service is a one-to-one companionship and support for palliative care patients in the local community.  This involves matching patients, who would like support and company, with a volunteer befriender  who will visit them at home for about an hour or so a week.  

​

Wheelchair patients who attend the weekly Day Care in the hospice lounge are provided with wheelchair taxis and this service is funded by Lippen Care.  

​

The Charity encourages education and research to improve the quality of palliative care locally and in the whole of Angus.

​

Lippen Care is an association with an annual membership available to any person over the age of 18 who pays an annual subscription of £5.  Lippen Care has maintained a very strong and supportive membership but we wish to welcome more members.  If you wish to help make a difference, please contact the office by telephone or email (see the contact page).
