COVEY’s Impact Video 2024-25

COVEY’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) took place on Thursday the 25th of September. This was an opportunity to look back over the year at some key highlights. You can watch this year’s impact video below.

We’ve achieved so much over the year, making it possible for COVEY to continue supporting children, young people and their families in ways that truly make a difference.

The commitment, dedication and compassion of our amazing community of volunteers continues to make this possible.

Thank you from everyone at COVEY

Fire Reach Programme

Some of COVEY’s young people completed their Fire Skills portfolio at Coatbridge Fire Station! This was a fantastic opportunity, seeing the group develop skills in life saving, team work, communication and rescue response.

Highlights from across COVEY

From decorating biscuits and creating positivity cups to fishing and even harvesting crops, there’s been lots happening across our Projects.
