Inverness on Friday 21st November at the Royal Highland Hotel, Inverness, t
My name is Pauline and I am the Policy and Engagement officer at Inclusion Scotland, which is a national Disabled People's Organisation.
In partnership with Scottish Campaign for a Fair Society and Scottish Disability Equality Forum, we are hosting a consultation event in Inverness on Friday 21st November at the Royal Highland Hotel, Inverness, to explain the new devolved powers that will be proposed for Scotland following the recommendations from the Smith Commission (to be published at the end of October).
The aims of the day will be to inform people on what is proposed get disabled people's views on what new powers could or should be devolved to Scotland, and to discuss how devolving certain policy areas might affect you and your families.
The event will take place from 10.30 am till 3.30 pm and we would provide refreshments on arrival and lunch. We will provide accessible information and have graphic facilitation on the day. We’d make sure all identified access needs are met and will provide reasonable travel expenses for all disabled people attending.
Kind regards,
Pauline

Prostate Cancer UK are seeking volunteers to help save lives in the Highlands.
Prostate Cancer UK are seeking volunteers to help save lives in the Highlands. At present, 1 in 8 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer, and we feel it is vital that as much support and awareness of this condition is raised as much as possible.
If anyone is interested in volunteering, a Volunteer Meet and Greet has been arranged for Saturday 29th November at Spectrum House, Inverness City Centre, between 10.00am and 2.30pm. This is your chance to find out about prostate cancer and also how you can help Prostate Cancer UK by volunteering, and the different roles offered, including Campaigning, Speaking, Fundraising and Info Stand Awareness. An induction will be offered but there is no pressure for anyone attending to take up volunteering. Please note : you do not have to be personally affected by prostate cancer to volunteer for Prostate Cancer UK.
We will also pay for all reasonable expenses so if anyone from outside Inverness wishes to attend, we can discuss paying for transport.
Places are limited so to reserve a place, please contact myself either at ewan.mcpherson@prostatecanceruk.org or on 0141 314 0050.
There is an A5 and an A4 poster attached so if anyone can print this off and display it or use it for any publications, please do so.
If anyone would like to discuss any aspect of volunteering further at Prostate Cancer UK please do not hesitate to contact myself.
Kind regards,
Ewan
