Ayrshire
Ayrshire Network Meeting
Welcome to the Ayrshire Network
We host the meetings across Ayrshire so that communities can be connected and take part. The area is widespread geographically and we change the location each time to reach communities. There are online opportunities to join the Scottish wide network once a year and there are also drop in clinics for anyone who wants to ask some questions about intergenerational work. We have had a busy 2023 with two in person meetings and one online. We are looking forward to 2024. You are encouraged to contact us if you would like to have anything on the agenda for future meetings. We are hosting a roadshow in Ayrshire on 26th April in Troon (more information to follow).
We welcome Sandra McMath as our new IG Network Connector, Sandra will be assisting us with connecting people and raising awareness of intergenerational work and attending the network meetings and roadshow.
You can sign up to come along to our next network meeting in 2024 soon (which will hopefully be hybrid) and find out more about intergenerational work in your local area.
Contact Bella or telephone 07927550730 for further information.
