We Work Together
We are a small team and along with our volunteers, we provide a number of services to the local community of Assynt
We Are Non Profit Organization
CCA took over the running of the Assynt Centre in Lochinver in early September 2010 after the Highland Council closed the facility in August.
Community Care Assynt (CCA) is a charity (charity number SC044803) working in Sutherland, providing services to the people of Assynt. We assist local residents fulfil their personal, social and economic potential and overcome barriers they may face due to age, health or disability issues.
We are based at the Assynt Centre in Lochinver, a local health and wellbeing hub for all people in our wider community.
We take pride in playing an active part in the local community and region, working closely with other local organisations and services. This local support has proven to be crucial to the confidence and sense of security for all people in the area and is key to the resilience of our community overall.
