Lifeline participates in S6 Conference: June 2011
Napier University

Lifeline was invited to take part in this Annual Conference at which pupils from Craigmount, Forrester, St Augustine’s, Tynecastle and Royal High Schools came together for two days to learn about the work of a number of charities.  The pupils then prepared and delivered presentations about their allotted charity.

23 pupils drawn from the 5 schools produced entertaining and well-researched presentations about Lifeline.  We would like to thank all the students for their engagement with the task, the good questions that they asked and the creative presentations they delivered.

Thanks to Bethany Millar who drew this simple and striking Lifeline poster.  Bethany’s team included Fraser Cullen, Sakine Simsek and Kieran Scott.
