Partnership and Communication Worker
A few weeks ago I got a message from a friend that I’ve known for many years. Sarah enquired about The Well and how things were going.

Two are better than one
I’m sitting here feeling quite chuffed with myself because I have actually manged to access this blog page without having to ask anyone for help!! However, at least part of the reason I am sitting here typing away this particular afternoon is that I know my colleague, Gail is around and I can ask her […]
Hello… See you later . . .
Hello and welcome to Gail. Gail joined the team in the middle of February both as a volunteer and as our part-time fundraiser. I’ll let her tell you a wee bit about herself: “I’ve recently returned to live in the Glasgow area having previously lived in the Scottish Borders. I’ve worked overseas in the past […]
