What is The Workshop?

Fifteen years ago in 2005, Lochaber Hope, previously an abstract concept existing in the mind of only one person, was willed into existence through sheer determination and the power of one particular core belief: that every person, no matter who they are, should have access to support should they require it.

Through hard work and dedication, this concept grew into an organisation, which then grew into a network, which then grew into a community of volunteers, supporters, advocates, participants, and staff. Through this transformation, that same principle - the importance of support, the importance of people – provided the foundation on which this person-centred charity continues to build, offering a wide range of therapeutic, professional, confidential, never judgemental services, programmes, projects, groups, and individual support options such as counselling, mentoring, and mediation.

Initially, Lochaber Hope had it in mind to start this journey in the form of a therapeutic boat building project, even going so far as to rent a large industrial premises and equip a modest workspace in which to construct this craft. However, it soon became clear that there was a far greater local need for their support services than the boat building project could accommodate. In order to meet this demand, the boat building project was put on hold, but it remained an ambition to start a branch of the organisation based in woodwork and practical skills.

Enter The Workshop. Established in 2019, The Workshop is a brand new social enterprise branch of the Lochaber Hope charity.
