Inverness support group cancels second anniversary meeting due to coronavirus emergency

An Inverness support group which helps those affected by suicide has had to cancel this month's meeting because of the current coronavirus situation.

Sunday's gathering would have marked James Support Group's second anniversary.

James Support Group holds its regular meetings on the last Sunday of the month at the city's Mercure Hotel.

However organisers have decided, because of the escalating situation with Covid-19, that it was best to cancel the event.

The charity was set up by a Black Isle couple, Wendy and Patrick Mullery, following the tragic death of their father-of-three son James to suicide at the age of 28.

Since 2017 the organisation has gone from strength to strength and originally they hoped to help others who found themselves in the same situation as they did after losing their own son.
