Are you recovering from addiction or other associated problems?

The MOJO project is an exciting and innovative new initiative, starting in Moray from September 2010. It is a six month pilot project which explores how complementary therapies can help people recovering from addiction and other associated problems. The free sessions are being held mainly at Studio 8 in Elgin.

Come & meet the team and try out the therapies at our “TASTER” DAY on Sat 4th Sept 2010 from 11am- 3pm at Studio 8, 73 High St, Elgin. 

If you would like to take part in the project or just want more information, contact Elaine or call her on 07889 897114.

They’ve launched a survey for young people between the ages of 16 and 25 to fill out - a postcard format of this survey is available in the Moray Citizens Advice Bureau and the survey can be accessed online through the CAS website. They have also created a Facebook group page ‘Citizens Advice Scotland: Being Young…Being Heard!’ as a platform for young people to speak about their experiences.

The Independent Budget Review reported back on 29 July outlining a series of options for delivering public services within a significantly constrained public expenditure environment. 

The report makes uncomfortable reading, and warns that it may take us 15 years to return to 2009 levels of spending, and the financial difficulties we are currently facing are urgent and cannot be addressed by efficiencies alone. The level of employment in the public sector is expected to fall and there are no quick fixes. However it acknowledges that the radical approach that is needed offers scope for increased voluntary sector involvement and collaboration in the delivery of public services.
