Activities Myself-management offers a wide range of in-person and online activities to our members. Our annual increase in total membership has returned to pre-2023 re-branding levels, and we are now reaching 479 people across our members, services and platforms. Each month we run 15 community-based peer support groups and wellbeing activities in locations across Highland from Broadford to Nairn and Inverness to Thurso, plus.. Popular summer activities, including the Jacobite cruise along Loch Ness and a fun day of wellbeing activities in Caithness. These events are open to all members, widening the circle of mutual support and connection. Our annual Boccia tournament - the highlight of the year for many members which was a roaring success again, with over 80 people from across the region gathered to enjoy a day of competition, reinforcing friendships forged in online chats. In response to a need identified within the community while the local sports centre was closed, we launched a weekly seated strength and mobility session in Kyle which we have continued to run with an average of 13-17 members attending. Over 130 people have now benefitted from our Kyle eBike hire service, which continues to provide a valuable opportunity for people living with long-term conditions to try out an eBike before investing time, money and energy in buying their own bike. Our online activities include weekly members-led peer support chats and multiple wellbeing sessions each week including seated movement, relaxation and breathing, body boosting bingo and daily tai chi sessions plus.. We extended our regular monthly themed chat provision to include a Living with Persistent Pain session in addition to the established Long Covid peer chat. Through the winter months, we added a weekly online sound therapy session, a regular quiz (crafted and delivered by one of our members) and a series of presentations including a talk by the V&A museum about their Kimono exhibition, nature talks with the Highland Rangers and demonstration sessions with several local artists who volunteered their time. All these sessions were held in the evening to provide additional support, connection and
interest during the darker nights. Online self-management skills training in a group setting, delivered in blocks over 6 consecutive weeks. Our eLearning courses which are available free of charge to anyone living in Highland as an alternative introduction to self-management, increasing accessibility for busy people and those who are unsure about joining online group activities as their starting point. 4 private Facebook peer support groups that serve as a safe space for members to share information and receive key updates from our team. These groups currently run at approximately 375 members across the board.
Achievements and Perforniance Our second year as an independent organisation has been marked by continued growth, adaptation, and development. The team has worked hard to manage the evolving demands of background operations while maintaining and expanding the services we offer to our members. Group membership has continued to rise steadily, supported by the creation and promotion of new publicity materials and new staff in place to promote our services. Looking ahead to 2025- 26, we anticipate further growth as we re-engage with health professionals and partner organisations to raise awareness of our services for people living with long-term health conditions. We remain mindful that many individuals have not yet returned to peer groups or community events since the pandemic. In response, we've expanded our digital offerings and continue to explore alternative ways to connect and engage with those who may benefit from our support. In early 2025, we secured three years of match funding from NHS Highland (commencing on 1st April 2025), alongside increased donations from members and supporters including City Mobility, The Highland Lottery, Tesco, Nairn Ceilidh Group, Highland Construction Chairty Dinner, and event contributions.
