Funding for new hospice approved

Councillors have approved funding of £200,000 towards a major upgrade at the Highland Hospice.

The charity cares for people with terminal illnesses at its base at the riverside in Inverness.

It is now fundraising to implement £6.5million plans to demolish part of their existing building and construct new modern facilities.

Councillors at the resources committee unanimously agreed the hospice’s application for funding today.
