Compassionate Lanarkshire (CLAN)

Compassionate Lanarkshire (CLAN) is a partnership project between Kilbryde, St Andrews and Strathcarron Hospices which aims to support vulnerable and isolated individuals and families in Lanarkshire affected by a life limiting illnesses. These illnesses include; cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart disease and progressive neurological conditions.

CLAN offers emotional, therapeutic and practical support to help individuals and families identify, value and build on their strengths to achieve the best possible quality of life.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have reviewed our service to continue to safely serve the individual, their families, and carers in South Lanarkshire.

CLan will continue to work with a blended service. We will assess using the phone, a video consultation or a home visit depending on everyone’s situation. We will work with people identifying their area of need and explore the best option for them.

If required, Kilbryde Hospice will offer virtual assessment by our complementary therapy team and depending on the needs of the individual, occasionally a home visit.

Our Befriending Service is available via the phone or in person.
