Service Hub

As well as providing a welcoming environment and plenty of food and company increasingly the
afé operates as Hub at which advice and support can be accessed from a range of services and agencies.

These include:

> The Highland Council Homeless and Benefits teams
> Benefit Agency
> NHS Health Improvement, Substance Abuse teams and Oral Health team
> Employability officer (who also helps with IT access)
> A local hairdresser who visits fortnightly
> Street Pastors
> Inverness Food Bank – we can issue Food Vouchers for the Food Bank for those experiencing
acute need.

The Team Leaders and Operations Manager will also signpost participants to appropriate supports and
work with agencies to ensure that there is an appropriate response to identified need.
