We also have some great news! Ailsa Spindler – until now Services Manager for THT Highland - has been promoted and is now National Director of Terrence Higgins Trust Scotland. As a result her previous job has become vacant and we will be recruiting for a replacement very soon.
Several enthusiastic volunteers have been helping us lately and more people would like to volunteer for the Trust - which is really great! We would like to thank them for all their help; if you want to join us, contact either of us for more details.
VOLUNTEERS NEWS
Hello readers! If you were lucky enough to be at the recent Belladrum festival, you probably saw us all having a great time distributing leaflets, advice and 26.000 free safer sex materials, at the Sexual Health Marquee (collaboration between THT, Brook and NHS). With the sun shining hard and music from the surrounding stages pulsating, it made for a highly enjoyable and very positive experience.
With the festival in full swing, our guests really entered into the spirit of things, some watching condom demonstrations and sampling some of the flavoured varieties (yes…while they were still on the demonstrator!) while others finally solved the mysteries of the femidom. Most left with a weekend’s supply of goodies to keep the fun safe.
Having had such an enriching and fun experience this year, we volunteers can barely contain ourselves until Belladrum 2009 and we would like to say thank you to those that came along to support us this year. It wouldn’t have been the blast it was without you! See you next year!
Dave, Carol and Karen, THT volunteers, Highland Services, Scotland
