🌟Happy Volunteers Week! 🌟

This week we celebrate and thank our incredible volunteers for their time, energy, compassion and dedication to our community!

Your support helps us make a real difference everry day, and we couldn't do it wihtout you. Thank you for everything you do💙

Last week we hosted our Calm Balm workshop, bringing people together to learn, create and take a little time for themselves 🍃

It was wonderful to see the room filled with great conversation, everyone getting creative, learning new skills and taking home their own handmade balm. Thank you to everyone that came along!

🌞June is here, and we've got a fantastic month of activities planned!

Whether you're looking to stay active, meet new people, learn something new or simply have a chat over a cuppa, we'd love to see you there!

We can't wait to welcome both familiar faces and new ones throughout the month!🌟

To celebrate National Walking Month, this week we're exploring walking myths v facts - there are a lot of common beliefs around walking, and we're breaking them down together.

Walking is one of the simplest ways to move more, feel better, and connect with others - and it's even better when you do it as part of a group.

That's why our walking groups are open to everyone, our Easy Walkers group is for those who prefer a gentle local walk and our main walking group explores longer routes across Edinburgh👟

We're looking for a Community Development Worker to join our team! 🌟

This is a fantastic opportunity to support local communities, build meaningful relationships and help make a positive difference.

If you're passionate about community work and creating impact, we'd love to hear from you.

This week's National Walking Month tip is all about staying active while working from home! 🚶

When we're busy or sitting at a desk all day, it can be easy to forget to move - but even short walks and regular movement breaks can support both physical and mental wellbeing.

Throughout May, we'll be sharing more walking tips and ideas to celebrate National Walking Month. 👏🏻

This week's tip was inspired by resources from Walking Scotland, here is the link if you want to continue reading: https://walkingscotland.org.uk/resource/walking-tips-when-working-from-home/.

Take a well deserved pause and join us for a relaxing Calm Balm Workshop, on the 25th of May 6:30-7:30pm at the lovely Broomhouse Hub. 🪻

This free workshop is a chance to slow down, connect, and create your own soothing balm to take home - perfect for supporting moments of clam in everyday life.

Spaces are limited, so if you are interested please contact us at [email protected] or pop into the Broomhouse Hub to see one of us!

May is National Walking Month 👣

National Walking Month is a great reminder of how powerful a simple walk can be. Regular walking can boost your mood, improve your physical health, reduce stress and help you feel more connected to your community.

If you want to start walking we offer two friendly and inclusive groups making it easy to take part in a way that suits you! 💚
