A complete list of sources of emergency help will now be available to the people of Inverness for what is believed to be the first time.

One of the Highland capital's Rotary clubs compiled the catalogue of help and support advice contacts in order to help those in need.

The Riverside club will be distributing it around Inverness, offices, doctors surgeries, and

charities.

‘Sources of Emergency Help in Inverness’ is a new poster which has been compiled

by the Rotary Club of Inverness Riverside.

Alex Craib, who is President of Rotary Club of Inverness Riverside said the idea

stemmed from helping other charities during the pandemic.

He said: “There did not appear to be any one source of information on all the charities offering food, counselling or housing services.

“Also, some charities, did not know what the others offered, so we compiled a list of charities and their services.

“David Rennie who owns and runs Speedprint offered to print it for us.

“It is planned to bring all the charities to an event next week to meet one another in

person, network and exchange ideas.”

The Sources of Emergency Help in Inverness poster will be on the Facebook page of the

Rotary Club of Inverness Riverside, charities in the city and Citizens Advice Bureau

will have copies as well.

The Rotary Club of Inverness Riverside, one of four clubs in Inverness, meet weekly for breakfast at the Kingsmills Hotel on a Wednesday morning.
