“All people are created equal, but nowhere more so than in a sauna” – Sauna Proverb
Community Sauna Highland CIC
The physical, emotional and social benefits of regular sauna use are experienced by many and UK sauna bathing is growing. Community Sauna Highland CIC will make authentic outdoor sauna accessible to Highland communities by placing saunas close to where people live.
As a Community Interest Company, this is a not for profit venture that aims to improve accessibility to sauna throughout the Highlands. In the same way that we might go for a run or walk, play a game of tennis, meet friends in the pub, take family to the park or visit the gym, we hope that visiting a local sauna space will become a regular choice.
Community Sauna Vision
Our vision is to establish the first urban community sauna space in Inverness. There will be a large sauna for 20 or more people, a cold plunge, and a rest area, allowing bathers to move between hot, cold and rest.
We aim to share information and education on safe and joyful sauna bathing, and contribute to the UK authentic outdoor sauna culture.
We will offer subsidised and/or adapted sauna use for community groups who might find usual arrangements a barrier.
Once the first sauna space is well established, we hope to move onto a second community sauna site and continue as long as this is welcome.
We hope to reach a diverse network of regular and future sauna bathers.
