2023 Fee Star Awards

by

Fee Star Award Banner

In 2022 we introduced the Fee Star award, to remember Fiona Calderwood, our friend and colleague who sadly passed away in 2021.

The annual award will help us to celebrate the great things members of Working Together do to support others, just like Fee did.

The Fee Star will be presented to a person, or group of people, who have really shone by bringing fun, laughter, care or compassion to Working Together.

Nominations for the Fee Star Award 2023 are now open and will close on 30th September 2023. The award will be presented at the Working Together AGM on 28th November 2023.

20th Anniversary Party
Speeches at our 20th Anniversary Party

A FABULOUS day. Thank you to everyone who came, those who got everything ready and those who sent us good wishes.

Thank you to everyone who came along to our 20th Anniversary Garden Party or sent us best wishes.
We had a wonderful afternoon chatting, eating cake, and enjoying memories of Working Together – serenaded by the Rockspring Choir.

We also remembered some of those who we’ve lost along the journey, unveiled a fabulous new anniversary bench made by Graeme Perks and welcomed our newest members to the Working Together family – our Bookshop volunteers and Community Gardeners.

We looked to the future too with Youth Club members enjoying a disco put on by DJ – one of our Diversity Club members.

In the picture, Nicola (left), our Chair of Trustees, with Chloe and Thomas, two original WT members, thanked everyone who had helped make Working Together what it is today, including members, volunteers, staff, trustees, supporters and funders past and present over the last 20 years.

Marathon fundraiser…

Sarah’s Edinburgh Marathon fundraiser…

Edinburgh Marathon Run
Edinburgh Marathon Run

We’re excited to learn that Sarah – who many of you will know from Writers’ Club – is running in this year’s Edinburgh Marathon and will be raising money for Working Together.

This is her story…

“In late 2019, a friend asked if I would like to run in the next year’s Edinburgh Marathon to raise money for Working Together, Ludlow.

I said ‘yes’. The training went well, I fell in love with running and soon I was able to manage a half marathon. Then Covid. And you all know what happened next.

The marathon, along with so much else, was postponed and postponed again.

But now, with two more years’ running under my belt, my accommodation booked, support team (husband, Ben) organised, I can’t wait to do Edinburgh Marathon 2020 on Sunday 29th May 2022!”
