A CEREMONY recognising the successes of those involved in learning and development within North Lanarkshire communities was held at Cumbernauld College recently.

“Many award winners have had life-changing experiences after getting involved in community based learning and I am humbled to hear of the many achievements recognised tonight.”

Cumbernauld College principal Martin McGuire, chairman of the partnership, added: “Those celebrated on the evening represented the many thousands who have benefited from the community learning and development approach, which involves real collaboration between the Partnership providers to give the best quality service possible.

“Every winner had a fantastic story to tell and I was astounded by the calibre of entries this year.”
