| “The sustaining tenancies training was immediately after lunch – usually the “yawning” slot – but there was no dozing off on that day! Everyone really enjoyed the presentation, exercises and games and went away completely enthused about the pack and how useful and user-friendly it is.” Myra Macdonald (Argyll and Bute Council) |
