Welcome Jennifer to the Banff Buzz




Happy New Year to everyone, I am Jennifer Irvine and I am a 2nd year social work student at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen. I am currently on placement for eight weeks at Banff Employment Support Team and thoroughly enjoying it. I went to spend a day at Banff Day Service with the writer’s of the Banff Buzz Magazine to get an idea of how the magazine comes together. All the writers have superb ideas about what they want to put in the magazine and are very enthusiastic about getting the work done. The writers take responsibility of phoning or emailing the people that they want to interview and arrange interview dates. I was surprised at how motivated all the writer’s were, as they needed very little encouragement from Emma. I was extremely happy to see that the writer’s ensure that everyone in the group is involved and everyone is given a task to do. I think the magazine that they produce a wonderful magazine and I could clearly see that the writer’s take a lot of pride in their work. I’m hoping that I have the opportunity to go back and work with the writer’s in the next few weeks to see how their magazine is developing.
