Maybole and North Carrick villages’ Locality Planning Group (LPG) recently held an information evening so that residents could find out more about what community-based services operate in their local area.

It was the fourth and final information evening held by the LPG and invited groups included social work, Maybole/Girvan community care team, Carrick Centre, Circles Advocacy, Out and About Scheme, South Ayrshire Life, VASA, Maybole Over Fifties, South Ayrshire Dementia Support Association, Carrick Seniors’ Lunch Club, Community Mental Health Team, The Speakers, Carers Centre and Telecare.

Each organisation attending spoke about the service they provide, and after there was a buffet where members of the public were free to circulate round stalls which were set up with more in-depth information.

The most important part of the evening was people receiving information packs from different providers and learning about all the different activities and clubs available in the town, and speaking with the presenters.
