Brian Devlin, chair of Black Isle Cares was given a sneak preview of Eilean Dubh this week while local MSP Kate Forbes joined us for a virtual tour. We think they liked it! We hope you will too. We're now just days from welcoming our first residents. parklandsgroup.com/news-old/eilea…

We have really sought to raise the bar and create an elegant and contemporary home for the Black Isle, and I think that we have succeeded," says Parklands MD Ron Taylor as Eilean Dubh gears up to open.

Look how cute the lovely Nutmeg is 🐶💙 Thank you once again to everyone who is supporting our community larders. The pet food larder idea from The Anderson has gone down a storm and the support is wonderful!

Life is happier when we get outside and move more. Join us for Active April and give your wellbeing an active boost ☀️🤸‍♀️⚽️🚴‍♂️🌿 actionforhappiness.org/active-april #ActiveApril

Happy Easter from the team at Black Isle Cares! 🐰🐣 The community sharing larder is open 24/7 for anyone who needs it. Please take what you need and donate anything you don’t! We hope you are having a restful long weekend ☺️

🍞 BREAD & CAKES 🧁 Tonight we have stocked the larder with some bread and cakes courtesy of Fortrose Co-op. These items are short dated and need used quickly so please help yourself if you can make use of the items - help stop good food going to waste! 😁

Check out this great wee video which gives a better insight into the Eilean Dubh Care Home as it opens and settles into the Black Isle Community... It even features our Chair, Brian Devlin, who was honoured to be one of the care home’s first visitors! ☺️ youtu.be/CHTPl7L4Bjg
