Community Support - Week 9

Hello all, a brighter day at least if still a little breezy! Here's the quick round up of what we've been working on this week:

💙 207 support requests

💙 483 meals delivered

💙 3853 magazines delivered!

💙 Discussed Mental wellbeing in this week's Thurso Show as part of Mental Health Awareness Week. Watch it here.

This week, we're excited to introduce you to Gemma, our newest admin recruit. Our admin team are those who talk direct to the community members who call for support. The admin team works with the community members to find out their needs and then works with the volunteer team to action requests. Gemma (middle right in the wee collage) is origianally from Glasgow and enjoys working with young people as a Guide leader. We're so pleased to have her join the team!

We’ve also posted some new blog posts which highlight funding opportunities for local people and organisations. The Community Assistance Grants are for people sturggling with energy or communication costs and the Grants for Organisations is for other local superstars who are supporting their community in it's time of need. You can read more information about both in their own specific blog posts.
