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.

The Stepping Stones Project is proud to host our first Outdoor and Nature Showcase!

Improving our health and wellbeing through nature is made possible thanks to the many wonderful groups and individuals who share their skills, knowledge, and passion for the outdoors. Their commitment encourages all of us to connect with nature and enjoy the incredible landscapes around us.

This free community event celebrates just how much the West Coast has to offer — from local activities and outdoor opportunities to the people who make them happen!!

• Senior phase courses for S4, S5 and S6 pupils

• Further education

• Apprenticeships

• Undergraduate higher education

• Postgraduate higher education

• Short training courses for businesses

Through a range of courses at all levels, we’re removing barriers to learning and providing pathways for our students. They can join us on a course that suits their needs, progress from one level of qualification to the next, and leave with a qualification when the time is right for them.

Our flexible delivery model is driven by digital innovation so we can make our curriculum more accessible. This creates more opportunities for people to learn with us, providing options for people to study from home, or work, within our rural and island communities; join us on campus; or learn remotely from anywhere in the world.

If you would like to volunteer as a driver for local groups, or if you would like to be involved in exploring options for Community Transport please join the Community Minibus Working Group.
