Edinburgh Northern and Leith MSP Ben Macpherson is holding a “craft and chat” event at Dr Bell’s Family Centre, as part of his annual MSP Christmas Card competition.
The event will be a relaxed arts & crafts morning for children and families, where parents and carers will also be able to chat to Ben about any issues, concerns or ideas they may have.
Children will be invited to create entries for Ben’s MSP Christmas card competition, which is also open to primary schools across the constituency. The deadline for submissions is December 10th.
A winner and four runner-up designs will be included in Ben’s eco-friendly electronic Christmas Card. The winners will also be announced on Ben’s social media platforms on December 17th.
The event will be held from 10.30-12 this Saturday 24th November, at Dr Bell’s Family Centre – 15 Junction Place, Leith, EH6 5JA.

Ben Macpherson MSP said: “Every year I really look forward to my Christmas Card competition and to seeing all of the fantastic entries from local primary school children. And, in this Year of Young People, I’m hoping that even more young people will be able to get involved by taking part in this arts, crafts and chat event that I’m hosting for local families.
“Constituents are always welcome to bring children to my regular weekly surgeries and I hope this child-friendly event will make it even easier for parents and carers to come and raise any concerns with me at this time of year.
“Families from across Edinburgh Northern and Leith are very welcome to come to Dr Bell’s for this craft and chat morning, and I hope to see lots folk there for some Christmas refreshments and a chat … and of course I’m also looking forward to seeing all the wonderful card designs!”
Anna Templeton, Centre Manager at Dr Bell’s Family Centre, said: “Dr Bell’s are delighted to support this event and look forward to welcoming many local families to our centre.”
