2016 has felt like an important time to be Welcoming and we are really glad to have been able to offer our programme of activities throughout the year. Huge thanks to all our funders for making this possible. We have run well over 1000 sessions, benefited from the contributions of more than 100 volunteers and worked with people from over 70 different countries. Together #WeAreScotland! Our vibrant Welcoming community made up of newcomers and locals from across the city illustrates the value of openness and diversity.
