Community Involvement and Activities
The twinning initiative is supported by a dedicated committee, which includes representatives from local businesses, schools, community groups, and the Inverurie Community Council. Over the years, the partnership has led to a variety of enriching experiences
Looking Ahead
The twinning relationship continues to evolve, with renewed efforts to engage more residents and organisations in both towns. A new committee is being formed to relaunch and expand the twinning activities, ensuring that the partnership remains vibrant and beneficial for years to come.
“The twinning initiative has huge benefits for the town, from raising awareness of different cultures in primary schools to creating fruitful links between adults in both towns. It is something that can benefit nearly every resident in Inverurie in some way.”
