Further Information
|
Lochaber Hope is a locally based charity run by local Lochaber people.
which aims to assist the disadvantaged section of our society back towards gainful employment and a fulfilling lifestyle. This will be achieved by setting up and running a ‘drop in’ skills/craft centre, focused on providing hands on experience in working with timber and recycled wood, producing artefacts which may be for community benefit, or for retail or for artistic merit alone. The primary objective of Lochaber Hope is to restore self-esteem by allowing people to discover unrecognised talent and skill thus engendering a renewal of hope, self motivation and social participation.
