HOPE (Helping Older People Evolve) in the Community is part of CLASP – our main aim is to help people aged 50+ and living in North Ayrshire, to remain independent within their own homes for longer. We want to help them enjoy life in the company of others through the provision of numerous services eg social activities, outings, interests, health & fitness classes and digital support & learning as well as information & advice. We make available our extensive information library to ensure they are assisted in making informed choices on all aspects of their advancing years.

CLASP Resource Centre is situated in the centre of Stevenston town, across from the Health Centre and is also available for hire including evenings for meetings, etc. The Resource Centre houses an extensive Information Library covering a wide spectrum of topics including – benefits, safety, health, fitness, nutrition plus information on local and national support agencies.
Accessibility – The CLASP Resource Centre in Stevenston is wheelchair accessible.
HOPE in the Community is assisted in the delivery of services by a dedicated team of staff and volunteers who are trained and disclosure checked to equip them for the roles they will undertake. Age is not a barrier and many older adults find that they enjoy volunteering themselves.
We need YOUR help in order to help some of the most vulnerable people in our communities. If you are interested in volunteering with us, please visit our volunteering page for more information.
