Dementia Cafe for North Edinburgh Arts?
TWO CONSULTATION SESSIONS NEXT WEEK
‘There are only four kinds of people in the world: those who have been carers, those who are currently carers, those who will be carers and those who will need carers’ – Rosalynn Carter, former US First Lady
West Pilton Gardens Social Worker Centre is looking to open a new Dementia Cafe in North Edinburgh Arts Centre (off Pennywell Road, beside Muirhouse Library).
We are holding two meetings where we want to hear what you want from the Cafe. We would like people with dementia and their families, their carers, ex-carers, friends and neighbours, etc. to come along and participate in the consultation.
This is an opportunity for your voices to be heard and to be part of an exciting new project in your community.
If you would like to know more, please spread the word and come to:
North Edinburgh Arts Centre, Pennywell Court
on TUESDAY 24 MAY 10am – 12 noon
or SATURDAY 28 MAY 10am – 12 noon
Volunteers will be there to show you where to go
Teas and coffees available

Celebrate the history of Circle
Best wishes to all at Circle Scotland, the national children and families charity based in West Pilton Park, who are holding their annual lecture tonight in the Botanic Gardens Lecture Theatre.
Tonight’s speaker is Dr Mark Smith, Head of Social Work at the University of Edinburgh, and the theme of the lecture is ‘Celebrating the history of Circle’.
Circle was born as an independent charity in 2006, but the organisation has a long and illustrious history – Circle was created from Family Service Units, which were established in areas of deprivation just after World War Two.
Circle’s is a story worth telling and tonight’s event promises to be fascinating. Hope it goes well.
