The Island Neighbourhood Project (INP) TIMETABLE

Our services have been developed in response to wishes and ideas expressed by our users or potential users. The services provide users with information, advice, advocacy, skills, opportunities for social interaction and opportunities for development. Specific activities have varied considerably over the years in response to both needs and opportunities.
