A HUGE thank you to everyone who attended Social Prescribing Day 2024! Thank you Lyle Gateway for the fantastic hospitality, and of course our partner organisations, we couldn't have done it without you!

Thank you to everyone who attended Shine a Light 2024 at the Beacon Arts Centre last Friday! There were over 420 attendees and many local organisations took part to provide information.

Stories were shared, tears were shed, laughs were had and support was given. It was a very positive and encouraging experience overall, with some older local residents highlighting just how far we have come over the years.

Health Walks are a fantastic way to encourage people to stay active. They are local, low-level, free, regular walks that are led by staff and or volunteers and usually last up to 1 hour.

Thank you to everyone who got involved with our Carers Event last month, around 45 carers came along and helped us explore themes which were important to them! We have created some graphics to show some of our findings, as well as a summary of the event.

We would like to thank everyone who took part in the Carers Event today at the Beacon Arts Centre. We had a packed house with loads of brilliant feedback and ideas flying around! HSCP, Your Voice and the Inverclyde Carers Centre worked together to plan and facilitate the event, with 6 focus groups of carers and staff all brainstorming about the 4 main themes which came out of the 2023 Carers Survey.
