❤️Understanding self-harm starts with compassion, not judgement.

📅 Wednesday 2 September 2026
🕙 10:00am – 1:00pm
📍 No.18 Venue, 18 Farmeloan Rd, Rutherglen

Join Frankee Fouin from Penumbra's Self-Harm Network Scotland for a powerful 3-hour workshop exploring the reality of self-harm and how we can better support people experiencing these challenges.

Behind every act of self-harm there is a person trying to cope, communicate, or survive difficult emotions. By increasing our understanding, we can replace fear with empathy and create safer, more supportive communities.

This session will help you:
✨ Understand why self-harm happens
✨ Build confidence in offering support
✨ Learn how compassion and connection can make a difference

Together, we can create a community where people feel heard, valued, and never alone.

💡 Energy Price Cap Update

Ofgem has announced a further 4% increase to the energy price cap, following the previously announced 13% rise.

For a typical household paying for gas and electricity, this could mean an increase of around £60 per year, bringing average annual energy costs to approximately £1,723. This change will only affect customers who are not currently on a fixed-rate contract.

If you’re worried about rising costs or would like help understanding your bills, our Energy Advice Team can offer free, personalised support as we head into winter.
