After years of fundraising the Haven Centre offering respite care for children with complex needs and their families has finally opened.

The official opening ceremony for the centre in Smithton, Inverness took place on Friday with Highland MSP Kate Forbes.

The dream of creating the centre was driven by Elsie Normington who is delighted it has now been achieved.

Kate Forbes also looked forward to the "pioneering" centre being able to offer support to families from across the Highlands.
