  • Culloden Mind Hub

    About:

    The team at High Life Highland’s Culloden Library are delighted to launch new community initiative called Culloden Mind Hub. 

    Culloden Mind Hub is a weekly community café with a focus on reducing loneliness and isolation and providing community-based learning activities free of charge to ensure wellness, lifelong-learning and mental stimulation.

    It will be a welcoming, intergenerational space for connection, learning and personal development – all of which are particularly in demand by communities as post-COVID recovery continues, and the Cost-of-Living Crisis puts pressure on household finances.

    Weekly activities will range from board games, jigsaws and simple crafts to gentle movement-based sessions and games for all ages. Guest Presenters and Facilitators will also be planned for future sessions, selected according to community interest. Digital literacy will also be a regular focus of future sessions and will provide an opportunity for young people to volunteer to assist others in building their digital skills.

    Weekly Drop in at Culloden Library: free, all ages welcome, every Monday 1pm – 4.30pm.

  • Skye and Lochalsh Mental Health Association

    About

    “Our mission is to help those in Skye and Lochalsh suffering from mental ill health.

    Our services are very informal and not at all like the stereotype of a mental health centre. Mental ill health is hard to talk about and causes a lot of isolation. We’re all about giving people a place where they feel included and accepted. Currently supporting around 120 people, we’re a lifeline for our members, who often talk about the service like a family and as a vital component in their recovery journey.

    We are  user led organisation which anyone who lives in Skye and Lochalsh is able to join.

    We offer support to anyone living in the Skye and Lochalsh area who is suffering from mental health difficulties.  You don’t need to be referred to attend our drop-in centre in Portree or to An Drochaid in Kyle.  We also offer outreach support by referral only through the local Mental Health Team.”
