A wonderful effort by our trusty volunteers on the Deanhaugh Path today! We managed to cut back and sweep the entire length, scythe back the undergrowth on the corner to create more space to enjoy, and swept the area for litter. Many thanks to you all👍😎💪

Many children & young people suffered during the COVID pandemic - and continue to suffer its impacts. This important report confirms our own parent surveys which highlighted that vulnerable young people or those with ASN were particularly impacted.
More than 2,000 young voices have contributed insights about their pandemic experiences and lessons they think should be learned.
The case study reflects their views on how the pandemic impacted their education, social development and mental wellbeing.
