Star Photo!

Introducing the new Star Photo section! Each quarter, a photo from across COVEY’s projects will be chosen to feature as our Star Photo! Today, it’s this brilliant photo from the Kiltwalk in April, which saw a fantastic effort from the team. Well done everyone!

COVEY recently supported a group of S3 pupils from Kirkintilloch High School on a trip to Kelvingrove Art Gallery, as part of the GROW programme.

COVEY delivers this in partnership with Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) in Glasgow.
