๐Ÿ‘ Well done to everyone who attended yesterdayโ€™s First Aid Training in Eyemouth with Philip from Bags First Aid!

Learning first aid is a fantastic skill that not only looks great on your CV but could also make a real difference in an emergency situation. The knowledge and confidence gained from this training can help save lives and support others when they need it most.

Thank you to Philip for delivering such an informative and engaging session, and congratulations to all participants for taking part and investing in skills for life! ๐Ÿš‘โ›‘๏ธ

๐Ÿ’™What a special day at Works+ today!๐Ÿ’™

We said goodbye to Margaret on her last day with us before she starts an exciting new chapter as Coordinator at the Galashiels and Area Food Bank. We want to thank her for everything she has done and wish her every success in her new role. You will be greatly missed, Margaret, but we know you'll do an amazing job! ๐ŸŒŸ

We also celebrated a very special birthday today โ€“ a huge Happy Birthday to Scott! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‚ Scott enjoyed his birthday cake at Cafe ReCharge CIC, and much to his lament and our enjoyment, we got to sing him happy birthday! ๐ŸŽˆ

A day full of goodbyes, celebrations, smiles, and memories. Wishing Margaret all the best for the future and hoping Scott has a fantastic day!

What a fantastic day out yesterday! ๐ŸŒฟโ˜€๏ธ

A huge thank you to Koran and Pete from Abundant Borders, and Keith from Eyemouth Golf Club, for welcoming us and facilitating such an enjoyable and interesting trip.

We loved having a go at willow weaving and learning more about the volunteering opportunities and workshops available at Eyemouth Community Garden โ€” such an inspiring space doing amazing work in the community. ๐ŸŒฑ

And wowโ€ฆ we had no idea just how much work goes into keeping a golf course looking so fabulous! โ›ณ Huge respect to the team at Eyemouth Golf Club for everything that happens behind the scenes.

It was a brilliant day of learning, laughter, fresh air and community connection. Thanks again to everyone involved! ๐Ÿ’š

After a lovely 8 weeks together, our 16-24 employability group in Galashiels has officially come to an end ๐Ÿ’ผ

Itโ€™s been such a positive experience getting to know everyone, sharing ideas, building confidence, and supporting each other along the way ๐Ÿค

Iโ€™m really proud of how far everyone has come over the past couple of months ๐ŸŒŸ

A huge thank you to everyone involved for the encouragement, conversations, laughter, and motivation each week ๐Ÿ’›

A few of our young people are a bit camera-shy! But each member of the group finished with a bundle of qualifications and certificates. With 100% of the group going onto positive destinations!! โœจ

Wishing everyone the very best for the future and all the exciting opportunities ahead ๐Ÿ€
