Thanks to everyone who took part in our Christmas jumper week and our Lucky Dip. We raised £170 for Alzheimer Scotland and today PFW's Linda was able to hand over the cheque to our former colleague Nicola. (fondly remembered as original co-host of our Ways to Wellbeing podcasts).

Our PFW minibuses swept over the Kessock Bridge this morning as our Friendship Club members headed for Rosemarkie on their latest outing. Our Admin Officer Hayley provided a splendid spread of tea and cakes, with additional home baking supplied by some of the club members.

The PFW Friendship Club got a real treat at this week's gathering - the first meeting for 2026. Staff at the Lochardil Hotel served their soup and sandwiches in the stunning Tapestry Room. The table candelabra added that extra touch of luxury. Echoes of Liberace!

The Scottish SPCA has urged people not to touch any puffins found on beaches and instead call the charity for advice.

We're looking for additional volunteers to join our fantastic team of passenger assistants. Get in touch if you can spare a few hours a week (or even once a month) to help older adults get on and off our minibus as we take them to local day-care sessions or friendship outings. The passenger assistants play an important role in making sure everyone is sitting safely. Call Fiona on 01463 729997. Or email her: fiona@p4w.org.uk

We're raising money for Alzheimer's Scotland so we've pulled together this lucky dip of lucky bags full of goodies. If you're popping into our office, try your luck.

Well, it’s been a slow and slippery start for getting out and about last week!

Things are starting to look up as the weather improves so if you feel like you’ve got cabin fever from staying in why not give our health walks a try?

We have walks for different levels of fitness so please get in touch with P4W’s Health Walks and Events Manager, Jayne Preece, if you would like more information about walks in your area : Jayne@p4w.org.uk

This week PFW staff and some of our Community Transport volunteers took part in Christmas Jumper week.

As we have different volunteers working throughout the week, we decided to have an entire week dedicated to Christmas Jumpers, hats and accessories!! Jeff obviously has a entire wardrobe of Christmas attire!

We held a collection for Alzheimer's Scotland. Our manager, Jeff, is planning another fundraising event for this cause, and we will reveal the total amount raised in January.

Staff and volunteers were all happy to take part and we think you'll agree that there was great effort made by all. If you look closely, you may see that Chris has decorated the interior of his car, once more.

We were delighted that our regular Monday driver, Duncan, took part in this event, despite being housebound after surgery!

On behalf of Jeff, Fiona, Jayne, Hayley, Marie, Linda and Ewan and all our wonderful volunteers at Partnerships For Wellbeing, we wish you all a peaceful Christmas.

We will now be taking a well deserved break and will be back on Monday 5th January 2026.

Wishing you all a lovely festive holiday, from PFW’s Health Walks team, Jayne & Marie!

We will be on holiday from 19th December to 5th January 2026.
