GARDENING project assistants celebrated the end of their year long apprenticeship for a city housing association.

Six project assistants served their time with Southside Housing Associations and were congratulated by Jamie Hepburn MSP in their horticultural achievement.

Hepburn said: “Congratulations to Southside Housing Association’s Project Assistants who have completed their training with the Association.”

The project has been running for 2 years, with 6 Project Assistants completing their Apprenticeship in 2016 and a further 6 this year.

All 12 have been supported by Ronnie McGowan, Project Supervisor who said the time was “extremely worthwhile”.
