If you are involved in, or are thinking of setting up, a community-led care project in your area this event is for you. With the demands for health and social care increasing, and the reductions in public expenditure, the way services are delivered will need to be radically different in the future.

The third sector has a role to play in helping deliver these services. But how do communities who see a need for care in their areas, actually go about setting up a project and, crucially, run it successfully? And how do public agencies, such as NHS, view the role of community groups in the delivery of social care services?

This HISEZ event which is supported by Highlands and Islands Enterprise, brings together public bodies, business support agencies and community groups to begin to explore the issues communities typically will face, the lessons that can be learned from groups already running projects, long-term sustainability, and what this might mean for delivery of care support services in the future.

Join us for a free lunch from 12 and the main event will begin at 12.30 with the following:

• The care context - how things are changing - Gavin Sell, NHS Highland
• Case study - Dr Marion Milligan, North Coast Connection and the Kyle Centre, Tongue
• Discussions incluidng Q&A
• Next steps
