Thanks all for coming along to our AGM. Big thanks to Nairn Community & Arts Centre for hosting and to the Highland micro-network participants for sharing. If you’d like to know more about our first micro-network you can watch our short film here. Next year, we’ll be supporting a new micro-network in Argyll & Bute – more news soon.
Very happy to share our first Annual Review, which gives you an insight into the breadth of our work in 2023/24. You might spot a few familiar faces too. Read here.
