Five leading Highlands disability charities have launched the Haven Consortium, which aims to improve the lives of young people with disabilities and their families.
The Elsie Normington Foundation, Special Needs Action Project (SNAP), Thriving Families, Connecting Carers, and Encompass Caithness have joined forces to share resources, strategies, and expertise.
By working collaboratively, they hope to provide better, more effective, and streamlined support services for users and create a network of compassionate support for families.
Elsie Normington, Chair and Visionary of the Elsie Normington Foundation said: “The Elsie Normington Foundation recognised the fantastic work being done by the individual charities involved in the consortium and wanted to harness this and work together to make a greater impact.
“The charities involved with the consortium will work together to attract funding to affect real change in service provision for young people living with a disability and their families and carers across the Highlands.
“Our focus is on solutions and not problems, and we are very excited about this positive step in securing better outcomes for young people living with a disability in the Highlands.”
