Black Isle Cares is hosting a fun-filled taster session of Body Boosting Bingo at Fortrose Library on Tuesday, August 12th at 11am!
Body Boosting Bingo has been designed by the experts at Age Scotland and combines the excitement of bingo with gentle exercises that can be done either seated or standing. It's the perfect way to have fun and get moving at the same time.
If the taster session goes down well, we plan to run regular sessions in the local area. So come and join the fun!
Message us here or call Elaine on 07720 168266 if you'd like more information.

Black Isle Cares held another hugely successful Community Cafe today in Avoch Parish Hall. Lots of the local ladies came along for our superb coffee and home-baking and, of course, to get the craic with friends old and new! Claire Devine from Transition Black Isle came along to chat to cafe-goers about home energy issues.
The next Cafe event will be very special - a Tea Dance to be held in Fortrose Library on Wed 10th September 2025 2.30 - 4pm. This will be part of the BIC 10th Anniversary Celebrations taking place in September. More information to follow on this website and on our social media!

Black Isle Cares was set up in 2015 to identify gaps in services to support vulnerable people on the Black Isle, and to support the development of services to fill those gaps. In February the Black Isle Cares Trustees and Staff had an incredibly productive and engaging development session yesterday afternoon 🌟 Together, we explored the organisation's rich history, its current initiatives and the exciting plans that lie ahead. There are many promising opportunities on the horizon for BIC and we can't wait to continue making a difference in our community! ✨️
