Government campaign to hit Kirkwall next week

The Scottish Government’s Ready for Winter? campaign is set to visit Tesco, in Kirkwall, on Tuesday and Wednesday next week.

The national campaign aims to encourage everyone across Scotland to ‘think ahead’ and be better prepared for all kinds of severe weather.

It is being delivered in partnership with the British Red Cross and a range of public, private and voluntary sector partners.

The roadshow takes the form of a pop-up area that will visit supermarkets and local high street areas across the country, engaging with the public to help everyone be better prepared this winter.
