North Edinburgh’s ‘To Absent Friends’ festival

The Old Kirk and Muirhouse church, Drylaw Parish Church, and North Edinburgh Arts have pulled together this programme for “To Absent Friends“, for folk to talk about good life, good death, good grief.

It started yesterday with our annual ‘All Souls’ service and moves around the area for the next fortnight (see poster for details). All welcome.

New singing group in Drylaw Church for people with dementia

I am a member of a small voluntary association and we have recently started running a new Singing Group for people with dementia their carers. 

We meet the 1st and 3rd Wednesday afternoon of each month from 2- 4 pm in Drylaw Parish Church and are actively seeking new members from the Drylaw area. The Group is open to anyone one with dementia, accompanied by a carer or escort.
