A new joint project which is an online resource for everyone in the Highlands to find and share information about services and organisations that may help with the health and wellbeing of individuals and families has been launched and is now live.
The online directory includes details of groups, activities, and organisations on a wide range of topics including, bereavement, isolation, food support and many others. It has been developed between NHS Highland and Highland Third Sector Interface and will be reviewed regularly to ensure there is the latest information available. It can be accessed via the website www.elementalsoftware.site/nhshighlands.
The Highland Council is now accepting expressions of interest for the Regeneration Capital Grant Fund for 2026-27. The Fund supports locally developed place-based regeneration projects that involve local communities, helping to tackle inequalities and deliver inclusive growth in deprived, and fragile communities across Scotland.
It is delivered in partnership with the Scottish Government and COSLA. This year, for the first time, it will streamline the funding previously delivered through two other funds into one dedicated fund. Applications must be submitted by the Council and will only be for projects that are well developed and can demonstrate that they will start in 2026-27.
The Council is encouraging any organisations or groups with eligible projects to act now and submit an expression of interest form by the deadline of 13 June 2025.
