We had a new staff member with us this week, and we’re awaiting Stacey’s feedback on whether he passed his induction!

On a more serious note, some of you will know that this week we welcomed a visit from Scotland’s First Minister, John Swinney, along with Angela Constance, our MSP for the last parliamentary term.

Play Works does not affiliate with any political party. Visits like this are important for us as a West Lothian–based charity, helping to raise awareness of the work we do locally.

Thank you all for your understanding and support before and during the visit.
