We finished off 2022 with a wonderful Christmas Lunch at Winterfield Golf Club, having enjoyed a variety of activities over the past 3 months: crafts, chair exercise, guest speakers, bingo and a fantastic Book Week Scotland event with Edinburgh poet Ken Cockburn (thanks to Sharing a Story CIC and the Scottish Book Trust).
We were so fortunate to have Barbara work with us on this lovely project commissioned by bold.
After a hectic summer of activities, it was time to slow down and just ‘be’. Gathered round the table in the Gibb Room, we had several guest speakers come along – ELC Financial Inclusion Team, Carers of East Lothian and DFEL.
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.
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.
