Speaker Fiona Sekkat - Rising Stars Programme

Tue, Jul 5th 2016 at 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm


Callum McGuire with Fiona Sekkat, Rising Stars Programme

The speaker at our meeting was Fiona Sekkat an Employability Project Officer with Fife Council.
One of her projects is the Rising Stars Programme which helps 'looked after children' with various types of difficulties and issues into employment. 
It provides a positive environment for them to step outside their comfort zone, realise their potential, overcome barriers, set their sights on a career and allows them to develop tools and strategies to enter the world of employment better equipped.
Members were very impressed by Fiona's commitment to the programme and to the young people she deals with. 
Callum McGuire supported Fiona in her talk and showed a short presentation which showed how a number of youngsters had overcome their difficulties and had move forward in their lives.

Before the meeting started we had 'flying' visitors from Rotarians from the United States. As they were with groups of friends they were unable to attend the full meeting.  President Ewen Allan was pleased to hand them Club Banners and Club Newsletters.
