Online workshops will take place via Zoom in June, September/October, and December/January. Each workshop will last for two hours.
Renumeration will be £80 per session, £240 in total, in line with Scottish Government guidance on compensating people for their time and expertise.
No experience is needed. Full training will be given and reasonable adjustments provided.
