Recent community events held in Nairn to help the local population understand what community-led support is available to them have proved successful, and organisers are looking forward to the next event taking place at the end of October.
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 27 October 2022 from 9:30 to 12:30.
Colleagues from NHS Highland and 3rd Sector representatives will be in attendance 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: "These monthly events are going well and we are looking forward to them continuing. 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.

- NHS Highland
