Letters: Brew & Bake with Tana Ramsay!

Dear Editor

Meningitis Now is a charity that means a lot to me from my own personal experience of falling ill with the disease when I was 18. I wholeheartedly support and admire the work they do to raise much needed awareness.

This is why I was delighted to be asked to contribute a recipe to the charity for their Brew & Bake fundraiser – a wonderful way to bring people together to enjoy some delicious treats while raising money for a great cause.

My recipe is for an Orange and Poppy Seed cake but the great thing about this idea is you can keep things as simple – or as complicated – as you like. Whether your serve my cake, one of your own tasty recipes, or just break open a pack of biscuits, you’ll be doing something amazing to help families around the country living with the impact of meningitis.

To find out more about Brew&Bake please visit Meningitis Now’s special fundraising page. I hope you will join us with your own special event – after all, who doesn’t love a slice of cake and a good old cup of tea?

Warm wishes,

Tana Ramsay

Mapping Physical Activity in Edinburgh

Mapping Physical Activity in Edinburgh

We want to identify as many physical activity facilities & opportunities as possible all across Edinburgh and put them all on a clever online map and we need your help. 

How can you help? That’s easy. If you know about a group, club, activity, facility, etc. you think we should add to our map go to our online ‘SurveyMonkey’ page here and fill in our short questionnaire, it should only take about 5 minutes.

https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/7V8V2WN  

We’d be grateful if you would also pass this on to as many people as possible who might be able to help.

We don’t have a definitive deadline but if you could complete the 5 minute survey as soon as possible it would really help. We’re hoping to as much info as possible processed by the end of August.

Many Thanks

John Brennan
