A support group is hosting events for parents of children with additional needs.
Borders Additional Needs Group (BANG) is inviting parents and carers to meet others in similar situations, as well as the BANG family liaison team and special guests.
These gatherings aim to provide information and advice, as well as a chance for focused discussions in a relaxed environment.
The group is also offering opportunities to get involved in fundraising and volunteering.
Sessions are held in Galashiels every Friday from 10am to 12pm at the Focus Centre.
In Eyemouth, the group will meet on November 13 from 9am to 11am at the community centre, in Room 1.
In Peebles, it will be on November 7 from 10.30am to 12.30pm at the Drill Hall, with attendees asked to use the side entrance.
In Hawick, the session will take place on November 21 from 1pm to 3pm at Escape Youth Services, Havelock Street.
