A Scottish Government roadshow seeking views on how to make the country fairer will visit Inverness next week.
More than 1,000 people took part in a summer of Fairer Scotland public events – and now people in the Highlands are being given the chance to have their say on Wednesday, October 7.
The event will be held at Inverness Leisure between 12.30pm and 4pm.
The findings will be published in the new year in an action plan.
Social Justice secretary Alex Neil, said: “This summer, travelling up and down the country, I have seen at first hand the grass roots spirit come alive in towns and cities, like Inverness.
“It is mobilising people to attend Fairer Scotland events and tell us what needs to change to make people’s lives better. Countless others have submitted their views online.
“Next week a Fairer Scotland event will take place in Inverness so that more Highland people are able to set out their vision of a fairer Scotland.
“All these views will help inform future Scottish Government’s policies designed to tackle inequality and put in place measures to create a better country for all.”
Mhairi Wylie, chief officer of Highland Third Sector Interface, said: ‘This is a fantastic opportunity to have a direct influence over the policy and direction of Scotland in the course of the next 15 years.
“The people in Highland are passionate about ensuring their voice is heard and having a role in decisions that impact on their lives.”
