Are you supporting someone in the Highland Council area? A family member, friend, neighbour, or someone in your community — who c ould not manage without your support? This might include helping someone with their physical or mental health, or supporting someone affected by alcohol or drug use. Do you take them to appointments, support them day-to-day, or help them stay safe and well? You might not think of yourself as a carer, but if someone relies on your support to get through the day, you may be an unpaid carer.

You’re not alone — and there is support available. This includes support for people caring for someone affected by substance use.

Join us at the Carers Scotland Highland Roadshow for practical support, speak to local services. Get help to access funding and referrals — all in one place.

High Life Highland is proud to be part of Summer of Sport, a national campaign backed by the Scottish Government and sportscotland, bringing more opportunities for children and young people to get active this summer and beyond.

Whether it's trying a sport for the first time or building on existing skills, Summer of Sport is all about giving young people across Scotland the chance to move more, have fun, and feel good. As a partner in the campaign, we're helping to bring activities to communities right across the region — from sports sessions and clubs to our Schools Out holiday programme.

There's something for all ages, abilities and interests, and we're working hard to make sure that as many children and young people as possible can get involved this summer.

Are you a club or community group?

If you run sport or physical activities and want to get involved, there may be funding and support available through the Summer of Sport programme. We'd love to hear from you. 

We are looking for collaborative projects that increase activity levels locally and allow for sustained participation in sport.  We want to reduce barriers to participation, enhance local offerings, celebrate sport and physical activity through events and festivals and upskill our volunteers and coaches to ensure a sustained impact from the project. 

We envisage grants to community groups to be in the region of £200 - £2,000 but welcome broader ideas and applications in. 

Reach out to your local Active Schools Coordinator, Community Spot Hub Officer or email us at HLHSummerofSport@highlifehighland.com
