Wendy Paterson, Chair of the Board of Directors said:

As we approach the summer holidays, many of our weekly groups will be drawing to a close. We will, however, be operating a number of summer outdoor activity groups in partnership with Bridge8 Hub, thanks to funding from Leith Chooses.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our funders and supporters for their ongoing support during the past year. We wish everyone a peaceful and relaxing summer and plenty of sun!

This International women’s day, Monday 8 March, we are asking you to raise funds to support women survivors of Gender Based Violence by swimming in the sea, river or lake, taking a cold shower or bath or just donating.
