Bursary Update from Kathy
July has been a busy month, finalising the bursary selection process, advising sponsors and recipients of the outcomes, then the ongoing liaison with the recipients in preparation for them to receive their funds and certificate. And of course, that all thundered to a stop with the latest lockdown. We live in uncertain times…
We haven’t cancelled the presentation – we will try again as we can confirm new details.
Each year we are inspired by the stories of our recipients and we long to acknowledge their achievements and share their successes with you. We are already planning the E-Yearbook, started last year, and set to continue. But it is a matter of “watch this space” for evolving details of the presentation.
My thanks to Team Bursary – an amazing job.
