🌍 WORLD FOOD DAY

For many of us, food is part of our everyday routines. We gather around the table, share meals with family and friends, and often take for granted that there will be something to eat tomorrow.

Yet for millions of people around the world, including families much closer to home, access to nutritious food remains a daily challenge.

World Food Day reminds us that food is not a luxury. It is a basic human need, essential to our health, dignity and wellbeing.

🤝 At the Rotary Club of Inverness Culloden, we believe that compassion is most meaningful when it leads to action.

Through our support for food collections for local foodbank and for people affected by the war in Ukraine, we've seen how generosity can bring communities together and provide practical help to those who need it most.

Our international work in Malawi, supporting access to clean water, sanitation and improved nutrition, reflects that same commitment to helping communities build healthier futures.

Different communities, different challenges, but the same belief: everyone deserves access to the essentials of life, wherever they live.

💙 This World Food Day, we also want to recognise the volunteers, organisations and individuals who give their time, resources and care to help others. Their kindness makes a real difference, often in ways we may never fully see.

🥫 Whether it's donating a few items to a local foodbank, supporting a collection or volunteering your time, every contribution matters.

🌱 Because fighting hunger isn't just about providing food today. It's about building a future where no one is left behind.

The more openly we talk about mental health, the easier it becomes for people to reach out, feel heard and find support.

Mental health support starts with understanding, listening and being willing to have the conversation.

There's still time to book on to our upcoming mental health webinar 💙

💚 30 years of Maggie’s 💚

Yesterday, members of our club were delighted to join the special Maggie’s Day celebration at Maggie's Highlands, marking 30 years of Maggie’s providing expert cancer support to people and families across the UK.

It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the incredible work of Maggie’s, reflect on the difference they make to so many people in our community, and recognise everyone who helps make that support possible.

A cancer diagnosis can affect every part of a person’s life - emotionally, practically and financially, as well as physically. Maggie’s provides a welcoming place where people living with cancer, and those close to them, can access free support, information and understanding when they need it most. The impact goes far beyond the individual - helping families feel less alone, more informed and better supported through some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

Having this kind of support available locally is incredibly important for communities across the Highlands, and we are proud that Maggie’s Highlands continues to be there for people from the moment of diagnosis, throughout treatment and beyond.

Our club is proud to support Maggie’s Highlands, including through volunteering at fundraising events such as Run the Runway at Inverness Airport, helping Maggie’s continue providing free support to people affected by cancer across the Highlands.

It was also lovely to meet our fellow Rotarians from Rotary Club of Dingwall, who share our support for Maggie’s and its important work.

Thank you to the Maggie’s Highlands team for welcoming us and for a very special evening.

Congratulations to Maggie’s on 30 remarkable years of making a real difference to people living with cancer and their loved ones. 💚

It was a late night for our Rotarians, helping Maggie's Highlands with Run the Runway registrations at Inverness Airport. We were delighted to do the easy bit and so glad we didn’t have to do any running! Well done to all involved for raising funds for this fantastic cause. 🧡

This week we welcomed Alex Scurrah-Price, who gave an engaging presentation on the important work being carried out through the Saving Wildcats project. Based at the Highland Wildlife Park in Kincraig, the team is leading efforts to restore the critically endangered wildcat population in the Scottish Highlands. Alex explained the challenges facing wildcats in the wild, including habitat loss and hybridisation with domestic cats, and outlined the conservation measures being taken to help secure the species' future. It was fascinating to hear about the breeding, monitoring and release programmes that are helping to return these iconic animals to their native habitats and support biodiversity across the Highlands.

You can find out more about what they do here Saving Wildcats and visit the wildlife park yourself to see some wildcats in action Highland Wildlife Park. 😽

What a fantastic day we had at the Inverness Highland Games!

A little rain and a few clouds certainly didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits. There were smiles everywhere, plenty of laughs, and a wonderful atmosphere throughout the day.

It was great to welcome so many visitors to our Rotary stand. Congratulations to all the happy winners of our games, and we hope you enjoy your prizes! ⭐

We were also delighted to meet fellow Rotarians from around the world who stopped by our stand to say hello, including members of the Rotary Club of Pasadena and Rotary Mechelen. It’s amazing how Rotary brings people together, wherever you are in the world. ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who came to visit us, took part, stopped for a chat, and helped make it such an enjoyable day.

We loved being part of the Inverness Highland Games and are already looking forward to next year!
