Team Cairngorm would like to say a really big thank you for all your support for our “March, March” in aid of The Marie Curie Daffodil Appeal. It was lovely to see lots of children wearing yellow, and marching around with their daffodil headbands or hats on.

We are pleased to announce that we raised £330.25 for a fantastic cause.

Scottish Centre for Conflict Resolution is a national resource centre promoting and supporting best practice in mediation, family conflict resolution and early intervention. Through our free events and resources, the SCCR aims to encourage young people, their families and organisations to develop conflict resolutions skills to improve both relationships and life chances and ultimately reduce youth homelessness.

Sessions will be delivered on the online platform Zoom, by the SCCR trainer. If you book on to the session you will be sent the details on how to join nearer the time to the event when bookings have closed and a full PDF document with all the information you need to know will be emailed to you. This session is at an introductory level and no prior knowledge of the subject is required.
