Vision 2026 family fun day at Eden Court

The Highland Children’s Services Partnership will be hosting a free family fun day at Eden Court Theatre in Inverness on Monday 11 August 2025.

The Vision 2026 event builds on the success of the Brighter Beginnings event in March and previous Vision 26 gatherings which brought professionals together. It is organised by the Integrated Children’s Service Board to support children and families across Highland through the community planning partnership.

Ian Kyle, Chair of the Integrated Children’s Service Board said: “I hope that many families with young children will come along to this fantastic event in Inverness. The Integrated Children’s Service Plan 2023 -26 was developed by the Integrated Children’s Service Board and is an ambitious plan to strengthen links across our communities and which aims to provide much-needed support for families. I’m delighted that so many organisations and partners have been able to come together to support families throughout Highland and can now celebrate their achievements with our communities.”

Families with children under 12 can take part in the event which takes place from 10am to 1pm and offers free fun activities including Giant Jenga, parachute games and balance bikes. Outdoor play activities will take place in Northern Meeting Park. Baby massage sessions will also be available from 11am and free goodie bags are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Highland’s three-year Integrated Children’s Services Plan was launched in 2023 to support children, young people and families with commitments in six key areas – poverty, child protection, corporate parenting, drugs and alcohol, health and wellbeing, and children’s rights and participation. The Vision 26 event is a chance to celebrate this work with families and the wider community.
