What's it Like at an Outdoor Setting?

We recently had a visit from Patrick Morrison, Practice and Training Officer with the Scottish Out of School Care Network (SOSCN). Patrick came along to learn all about W.I.L.D. and documented our great practice in an interview with W.I.L.D which can be read in the December SOSCN Newsletter here.

SOSCN have made the film below about our OSC Service. Watch to find out what our children and parents think about being at W.I.L.D. 

"Every single person is calm, kind, knowledgeable, approachable and guides the children in a nurturing manner, never judging or undermining."

We are beyond delighted with this achievement and want to thank everyone we work with, staff, parents, volunteers, Glasgow City Council, Friends of Linn Park and most of all the children, let the wonder and curiosity never stop. ”
