Events & Activities
As the COVID-19 situation develops, some upcoming GM Higher events/activities have been cancelled, either due to advice schools are acting upon or advice our university and college partners are acting upon.
We ask that where cancellations occur that all parties are communicated with in a timely manner to minimise expense and disruption. Where you are unsure whether an event or activity is still going ahead we advise you contact the event lead directly for clarification. We hope to rearrange any cancelled events and activities as soon as we are able to.
