The Strathcarron Hospice Papermill Café is a social enterprise harnessing the skills of Strathcarron’s catering team to create the high quality, nutritious home cooked food that the Hospice is renowned for.

By choosing to visit the café, customers will be supporting their local Hospice, as every penny made from the service is reinvested into Strathcarron.

The Papermill Cafe was set up in response to the rising need to diversify and significantly increase Hospice funding. This innovative catering business plays to the skills of Strathcarron’s teams, as the strength of the model is that it will help fund the £19,452 daily cost of specialist end of life care and services the local Hospice charity provides to individuals and their families across its communities.

Strathcarron Hospice was successful through a tender process to deliver the cafe in the Bellfield centre. In addition to providing high quality food, the Papermill Cafe will also strengthen partnership working with NHS Forth Valley and the community the Hospice serves.
