It’s essential that anyone interested books a ticket, but if cost is a barrier to anyone, please email Hilary at hilary.lacroix@prospectsacrossscotland.org.uk and she will arrange a no-questions-asked discount. We want our training to be available to as many people as possible. All our training includes detailed training notes and resources for you to use.

We are very much here to be of service to the local church.

Our northern groups received some funding to hold a special day ‘to make memories’. On Saturday 5^th April, more than 60 people came together in Inverness, including Prospects Dingwall and Inverness as well as four of our friends from the Buckie Lighthouse and Footprints groups.

It was definitely a memorable day for all of us, and we are so grateful to ‘Jennifer’s Fund’ for making it possible. See below some pictures showing what a wonderful day was had by all.
