The voluntary Fèis committee also coordinated a range of other opportunities including weekly classes, providing tutor jobs for 20 musicians and working with local partners such as Golspie Youth Action Project (GYAP), Brora Youth Room and The Young Karers East Sutherland (TYKES) to make music-making more accessible in the area.

The team hope to run more activities throughout 2025 and would welcome new committee members, volunteers and suggestions.
