It’s that time of year when we get requests to visit Schools again!
We offer tailor made visits to each school. we usually visit for a full day and use a combination of clothing, crafts, games, and objects to hold to involve the pupils in a story. They get to spend a day with one of the people who has contributed to the Scotland we live in today.
For large schools we bring a team, but our visitors are used to working with small schools where there is sometimes only one class in the whole school. Our activities are flexible and can be accessed at various levels by the pupils and teachers.
As a community interest company we use any surplus from visiting large schools to subsidise visiting smaller and remote schools. We also try to pay our visitors a real living wage! Contributions from volunteer visitors allow us to enhance the experience for pupils.
Someone of the status of Cathbad (in these pictures) would usually have servants to do the heavy lifting and ensure his comfort while travelling. However turbulent times sometimes call for unusual journeys to seek refuge carrying the things you think important!
