Mary Barbour Award 2017

There was a special awards ceremony on Friday 25th August in celebration of the life of Mary Barbour. This year, the winner was Sadie Gordon, who has been an activist campaigning on housing and community issues in the North Glasgow area for many years. 

I attended with FASS and a group of Kinship Carers in support of the award nominee, Sadie Prior. I feel it is vital that the contribution of Kinship Carers is recognised.
