At a special ceremony at the Town House during Civic Week, our Volunteers and Group Co ordinator were honoured to receive the Stephen Bunyan Award to mark an exceptional contribution to Dunbar’s Community life by a group or team.
All sorts been going on recently, from Singsong sessions, Quiz and Afternoon Tea at BeGreen, Celebrations for National Carers Week at Winterfield Golf Club, a special ‘Thank You’ Tea for our lovely team during National Volunteers Week (with special thanks to Dunbar Grammar School students, Devon and Emmy for holding a Cake Sale to raise funds for the group. – a lot of cake this past few weeks….!) We also enjoyed a lovely visit to Belhaven Community Garden.
Huge thanks to BeGreen and Anouska Woods for allowing us the use of their window space for the month of May to coincide with Dementia Action Week (16-22 May).
Our Art Therapy Workshops continued in March, working with Artist Barbara Rowell, when we worked on our woven stories. Great fun and so, so relaxing.
Cristina of Raw Energy had us joining in with a Latin American chair dance session, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Our fundraising Maggie’s Centre (Edin) ‘Kitchen Table Event raised just over £200 for this wonderful facility.
A lovely, happy afternoon with so many lovely shared stories around the tables. This was the first in a series of four art sessions led by Barbara. Today’s session involved tying memory knots in lengths of yarn, which we will be progressing over the next 3 sessions.
