Nairn Book & Arts Festival is retaining the late summer slot from September 4th to September 9th The six day festival will be launched with a special day dedicated to children to include writers, workshops and opera. The next five days will be filled with a rich programme of events and exhibitions designed to entertain and delight both visitors and locals.

The festival now in its 9th year, boasts a reputation for attracting top quality authors and will build on this by including an international element which will include crime writers from Scandinavia. New for 2012 will be a range of exciting musical events of various genres to entertain and complement drama and comedy in the evenings.

The visual arts element of the festival will receive a major boost this year as The Curtis Cup comes to Nairn Golf Club in June when we will provide an art exhibition for the event, which will include work by the Lucy Tormey, LGU Event Artist.

Check the programme or website for details of high profile authors, artists, entertainers, comics and musicians; 2012 promises to be a vibrant, eclectic, exciting mix.

Carer Support Service (Moray) SERVING THE NEEDS OF CARERS ACROSS MORAY With an office base in Elgin, this vital Quarriers service aims to respond also to the needs of people in rural and out of reach localities. We work closely with the Moray Community Health and Social Care Partnership, along with other organisations who provide support to unpaid Carers in Moray.

OUR SUPPORT We provide a service to Carers of all ages through a team of Carer Support Workers and Young Carer Support Workers, as well as Peer Support groups reflecting the range of needs of the Carers.

INFORMATION AND ADVICE We respond to individual requests for information and advice and keep Carers updated on topics relevant to them via our newsletter.

TRAINING We provide training for Carers across Moray covering a number of aspects of their caring role - based on what Carers tell us they need.

WORKING WITH YOUNG CARERS A fundamental part of the service. The Young Carer Support Workers work in partnership with the young person, their family and relevant professionals to ensure that young Carers are supported and can access the same opportunities as other young people in their community.

OUR CONFIDENTIAL HELPLINE is aimed at Carers who may be concerned that someone they care for is affected by drugs or alcohol, or perhaps they are concerned about their mental wellbeing.
