Community Support - Week 14

Morning Thurso!

Here is the support numbers for this week, week 14 of community support in Thurso, Halkirk & Caithness West. As always a special thank you to everyone involved, there are SO many cogs in the machine which really wouldn't work without volunteers and staff.

💙 135 requests for support

💙 484 hot meals delivered

You'll have noticed in recent weeks that the numbers are going down, this is great as people feel more able and confident to go out themselves. There are still plenty calls for us to action however and we'll continue to help where needed. As things get quieter, we will be easing off the pedeal as we see fit. Here are some of the changes going forward:

👉 The support number (01847 867050) will now be monitored between 10am & 2pm (urgent requests will be picked up of course)

👉 The wellbeing pick up station will be available outside Thurso Youth Club on a Tuesday afternoon from 2-3.30pm (it was twice a week previously, you can of course order wellbeing packs for collection or delivery here.

👉 These updates will now come fortnightly (you can get in touch any time to ask questions of course)

The Great Thurso Bake off Competition culminates TONIGHT (28/6) in the Thurso Wellness group, this week asks entrants to submit a Showstopper inspired by Caithness either in ingredients or replicating a local landmark! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

The Thurso Grows Team are busy in Sir John's Square and we'd love to see lots more of your painted stones for our giant art attack!🌈 You can request a stone painting pack from us using the link below or get creative at home and pop stones down to the box in the garden and we'll get it varnished and ready for showcasing. Please drop us or the Thurso Grows team a line with any questions.
