We were delighted to celebrate with our volunteers and Course award recipients at our annual Awards Day recently in Edinburgh.
It was great to take the opportunity to recognise publicly their achievements, hard work and commitment. A total of 44 awards were given, with 12 recipients attending on the day, along with friends and family, to receive their certificates.
It was a lovely occasion on which to congratulate students and volunteers and to acknowledge the support of their family and friends. Three students had achieved two separate awards in the last 12 months and two of them were able to join us on the day, along with one of five volunteers receiving a Platinum award for more than 20 years service. Photographs from the day are below:

We’d like to let you know about a new resource designed to provide guidance for families going through separation or divorce – Your Parenting Plan.
First published in 2006, as the Parenting Agreement for Scotland, the Plan has been refreshed by the Scottish Government in conjunction with a number of key agencies, and will be promoted over the coming weeks to help as many families as possible access practical advice.
The site below contains a link to Guidance Notes for profe...ssionals who work with parents and children, with information on how to support parents to make a Parenting Plan
There is also a Charter for Grandchildren that sits alongside Your Parenting Plan.
Please have a look at this and let us know what you think!
