It is now just one week until MSP for the Highlands & Islands Emma Roddick hosts her Cost of Living Support Event in Inverness.
The event, which will be held on the 28th of August at the Spectrum Centre, will see organisations in attendance to help with issues such as housing, energy, benefit applications, and mental health support.
It is designed as a drop-in event, with members of the public able to speak with organisations between 13:00-16:00 to ask for more advice or simply meet members of local teams.
Speaking on the upcoming event, Emma said:
“With just one week to go until I host my Cost-of-Living Support Event, I am really excited for organisations from across Inverness to come together and demonstrate the support available locally.
“Throughout the summer, I have been travelling across the region and hearing just how worried folk are about making ends meet.
“There has never been a more important time to come together and let each other know that it is okay to reach out for help, and there are so many organisations out there who care so deeply about supporting their communities.
“I hope that people feel able to come along to the event next week, whether they are really struggling at the minute, or they’d just like to learn a bit more and meet the brilliant people behind the work that’s going on locally.”
