Young Scot Awards 2014

Congratulations to the young folk from the Orkney Connect Project who got through to the final for the Young Scot Awards 2014 and WON!! Congratulations and well done to them all!

The Connect Project, Voluntary Action Orkney, picked up the Heritage Award for their intergenerational work in preserving the Orcadian way of life.

This is done through intergenerational befriending sessions, bringing people from different generations together to share stories, life experiences, Orkney culture and history from days gone by.
