Compassionate Lanarkshire (CLAN) is a pan Lanarkshire project jointly funded by National Lottery Community Fund and South Lanarkshire Health and Social Care Partnership which aims to support vulnerable and isolated individuals and families living in Lanarkshire who are affected by life limiting illnesses including cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart disease and progressive neurological conditions.

CLAN is a partnership project between St Andrew's, Kilbryde and Strathcarron Hospices.

CLAN will offer 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.

CLAN will work with service users (clients and carers) in their own homes and communities to identify and build on their strengths, increase knowledge and understanding, manage stress and anxiety, enhance resilience, improve emotional health and wellbeing, identify and access services, supports and opportunities: all with the aim of reducing isolation, loneliness and anticipatory grief.
