Lairg Community Car, for help with travel to medical appointments 👇👇👇

About this time two years ago we were given the wonderful opportunity to operate an electric car for people to be driven to their medical appointments when there is no other way for them to get there. We can accommodate people from the Lairg, Bonar Bridge, Ardgay, Rosehall, Shinness areas and people on Rogart who are not in the Go Golspie catchment area.

The car is still in use and we are now looking to expand the service. The criteria for passengers being eligible includes being able to get in and out of the car unaided.

To book please call 01549 402843 between 9am and 11:20 on a weekday morning or email [email protected]. The service is dependent on both the car and driver bring available.

🔥 Men’s BBQ & Blether – Booking Essential!🔥

Are you living in Sutherland? Looking for a chance to catch up, enjoy some great food, and have a good chat with other local men?

We are hosting a Men’s BBQ & Blether and we want to see you there!

While this event is open to men from all across the Sutherland area, we are extending a particularly warm invitation to those living in our more rural communities in North West Sutherland, including Assynt, Lochinver, Scourie, and surrounding areas.

This event is part of our Roots & Resilience Project, a fantastic year-long programme for men to learn, share, grow, and connect. Come along for a relaxed afternoon, a bite to eat, and a proper blether to kick things off.

📅 Date: Wednesday, 12th August
🕒 Time: 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM
📍 Location: Lochview Rural Training, Lairg

🎟️ Booking is ESSENTIAL so we can make sure there are enough burgers and bangers for everyone!
