A community event held in Nairn at the end of July to help the local community understand what community led support is available to them has proved successful and organisers are looking forward to the next event at the end of August.
Here For Nairn is a series of community pop-up hubs which highlight all the ways in which your community can help you. The next event is scheduled to take place in the High Life Highland Library, High Street, Nairn on the 25 August from 9:30 – 12:30.
Colleagues from NHS Highland and 3rd Sector representatives will be in attendance on the day to help the local community in Nairn understand what community led support is available to them.
Pamela Roberts, Nairn Enablement and Care at Home Manager from NHS Highland said: “We intend to hold these events on a monthly basis, with different community support groups in attendance along with NHS Highland staff.
“We want to ensure that people are aware of what support is out there and how they can access this from the various community groups that exist locally, within Highland and nationally, that will allow people to explore a wide range of options and services available in the community.”
These are drop-in events which will allow people to come along at a time and chat to those in attendance. It will highlight all the different ranges of support available, not only from organisations such as the NHS or Council, but also voluntary groups who can also provide support and advice to their local community.
Confirmed to attend at the event on the 25 August are:
- NHS Highland
- Connecting Carers
- Move On Project
