Local Networks: Caithness & Sutherland

Welcome to the Caithness and Sutherland Network

Congratulations to Kirsteen Campbell (above) for winning a GWT certificate of merit for her dedication, hard work, enthusiasm and commitment to her volunteer role as local network coordinator with the Caithness & Sutherland Network. The photo shows the presentation given at GWT’s national conference in March with Dr Mariano Sanchez, University of Granada, Spain.

Sadly, however I have to report that Kirsteen has recently retired from her volunteer post to take up a full time position. GWT would like to say a massive big thank you to Kirsteen for all her hard work and wish her all the best in her new job.

GWT is now seeking to recruit another volunteer coordinator so if you are interested please get in touch with Alison Clyde.

Please see below, details of the next Network Meeting to be held on Monday, 5 October, 2020, via Zoom when we will be bringing you up to date with all the intergenerational news from across Scotland.
