A new online platform to help people come together during the coronavirus pandemic has already attracted 10,000 community-spirited North Highlanders. Launched by Inverness-based events and marketing team Planit Scotland, ‘Highland COVID-19’ is a dedicated resource for people across the North Highlands to get free access to online activities, advice and help available right on their doorstep.
Topics include local travel and shopping times, mental health and wellbeing support, recipes, home schooling, kids’ activities, adult learning, as well as legal and financial advice for individuals and businesses. The free community information point is offering people across the North Highlands the opportunity to share valuable and dependable information that will help those in need, ease concerns and loneliness during this period of uncertainty and isolation.
