We are delighted that our Deekin to Jan project, in partnership with Article 12, has been nominated in the Innovation category of this year’s prestigious Nature of Scotland Awards, with the winners being announced on 22 November. Deekin to Jan means ‘looking to learn’ and the project provided nature-based learning activities to transform the life chances of 11-15 year olds from the Gypsy/Traveller community in Falkirk, and which was featured in our Network Bulletin.

The Conservation Volunteers in Scotland
The opportunity to get outside and make a difference
TCV Scotland offers a wide range of environmental activities in Central Scotland for people from different backgrounds, ages and abilities to help protect and enhance our local greenspaces and biodiversity. At the same time participants learn new skills, improve their physical and mental health, and engage with like-minded people.
We are also committed to providing a diverse range of high-quality learning opportunities for a wide range of participants, we support local communities, and can help you discover your ‘inner scientist’ and that hidden passion for nature.
