Happy New Year!
This will be a short post because we haven’t really been doing any face to face work this week. We will however start the year on Thursday at Saughton Park with a good old Scottish sing-a-long. Watching a bit of telly last night I saw the programme Get the Tunes On with Michelle McManus. It was good people reminiscing about their favourites at New Year. Runrig singing Loch Lomond, Lulu singing Shout, Paulo Nutini singing anything.
We had a few days away this week and John and I sat down to look at a Showcase we are planning for late March early April. We have decided that rather than wait for funders to fund us we will actively show them what we do and it’s impact by holding a cabaret evening. We aim to invite funders and let them see for themselves, hear the stories told by those living with dementia and their carers. Getting your message across on paper is not as easy as letting people see for themselves. The main issue will be getting them to come along but we have ways and means.
All this is for later, today we celebrate that we have the opportunity to make things happen. So to you and yours have a Guid New Year! ( as we say in Scotland)
