Super first day @OralHistorySoc conference. A pleasure to talk about @SWInstitutes @HeritageFundSCO #Heritage, in stimulating company, and lovely to close the day at #Glasgow City Chambers. Can't wait for tomorrow!

We’re thrilled to share that we’ve secured funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund! 🎉 This will help us protect and conserve our incredible archive and collections, ensuring they inspire and educate future generations. https://t.co/hmlZ46yfZq

Our first Hybrid Conference was a great success, bringing together 170 women from up in Orkney through to South of Scotland. A big thank you to everyone who helped make the day a fantastic one. We're excited to continue developing the SWI community action plan!

What a successful consultation event for @SWInstitutes Heritage Group, @CrichtonTrust Heritage Group and wider SWI members who joined us at the @womenslibrary So exciting to see @ODonnellBrown_ architect’s designs to preserve and showcase heritage for two organisations

[Diane Cooper @DianeCooperSWI]

What an inspiring event today! The @womenslibrary "Three Decades of Changing Minds" project, supported by @HeritageFundSCO It was wonderful to hear how GWL celebrates and promotes the rich history and contributions of women. Many takeaways! @DrAdelePatrick & team are awesome!

@Hebridean_Baker Amazing, love it!

It's #IWD24! Very timely as we begin a SWI Heritage project to conserve the past for the benefit of inspiring future generations of women and girls.

[Diane Cooper @DianeCooperSWI]

One year ago, I successfully applied for a funded place on the @SchSocEnt Heritage Trade Up programme. Yesterday, I graduated and am now an alumni fellow of the SSE.

It was only made possible by the @Heritagefunduk, and for that, I am thankful!

Thank you @OUScotland for a special afternoon with @JudyMurray. Can't wait to read my copy of #TheWildCard. Great to see the OU supporting #EdBookFest events 😀

“Someone said you should only write what you know about…It was an opportunity to raise awareness of some of the challenges faced by women in sport.” Says @judymurray at her OU-supported @edbookfest event, talking about her novel #TheWildCard with @Nicola_Meighan.
