A community hub for areas of multiple deprivation in South Lanarkshire, Supporting our Community (SOC) helps families which struggle to access support and offers intergenerational activities that encourage community participation, reduce isolation and signpost to other agencies. Following the tragic suicide of the daughter of one of their volunteers, 16 volunteers have now become qualified mental health first aiders and 40 local people have attended both suicide talk and awareness courses, providing support to a devastated community.
