Hope 2010 is a successful and happy year for all. The diary is beginning to fill up for the next 12 months- this year we shall be increasing the number of mentoring sessions for Aiming High Scotland and we have a number of events either planned or being developed, information to follow.
Don't forget our Future Changes seminar on Tuesday 26th January in Glasgow- an opportunity to learn about and discuss the proposed changes to the Care Commission and help shape our manifesto for out of school care ahead of the UK general election later this year.

North Lanarkshire is Aiming High
Yesterday SOSCN was invited to attend an out of school care development day hosted by North Lanarkshire Council. The council have invested financial resources and time in supporting out of school care services through Aiming High Scotland; as a result nearly all OSC services in the area have completed the award and some are even in the process of renewal. This is a fantastic achievement and testament to the hard work and commitment from OSC providers to deliver high quality services and ultimately quality experiences for children and young people.
SOSCN were delighted to be able to present North Lanarkshire council with the first Local Authority Aiming High Award in recognition of this achievement. A fantastic cake added to the celebration.
