Congratulated ‘Golden’ couple, Nesta & John, and paid tribute to the great work carried out by Macmillan…….all go!

Opening of The Sanctuary Garden, The Backlands, Dunbar – 25 September 2019
The rain couldn’t dampen our spirits when we enjoyed a wonderful get together with staff and volunteers at The Backlands to celebrate the official opening of the Sanctuary Garden. The Carers Group planted roses to commemorate the lives of Mary & Lee, two group members who we miss so much. It will be lovely to watch these roses bloom and grow, continuing to give us joy and pleasure, as Mary and Lee did.
Our thanks to The Ridge for allowing us to be a part of this project.??
