BADENOCH AND STRATHSPEY COMMUNITY CONNXIONS

We’re an award-winning not-for-profit organisation striving for a well-connected community in Badenoch and Strathspey. For 25 years and counting, we’ve been removing barriers to independence, ensuring that people can access the places, services, and relationships that enrich their lives. Our mission is simple: to get people where they need and want to go while creating opportunities to connect with others. This is achieved through demand-responsive services such as community transport, befriending, green health initiatives, social events, and door-to-door assisted shopping. Our small team of employees is supported by 60+ trained volunteers, and we work closely with partners that include the Scottish Government, NHS Highland, The Highland Council, and national funding bodies. Our commitment to quality and measuring impact has earned us recognition as one of the UK’s most successful community transport schemes: we won Community Transport Provider of the Year in 2023. By continually evolving to meet the region’s needs, we’ll keep making wellbeing accessible for all in Badenoch and Strathspey.
