SUNSHINE (HOPEFULLY) ON LEITH THIS WEEKEND
St Nicholas Court Sheltered Housing Complex in Edinburgh is hoping for sunshine this weekend as it gets set for its annual Summer Fayre.
The housing development is owned by Port of Leith Housing Association (POLHA) and the Summer Fayre has become an integral part of the social calendar. This year’s event takes place on Saturday 14 July between 12pm and 2pm.
In recent weeks, the Edinburgh weather has been less than ‘Summer-like’ but this will not dampen the spirits of those involved as Maureen Tait Senior Sheltered Housing Co-ordinator with PoLHA explained:
“I have checked the weather forecast and fingers-crossed we are set for better weather this weekend. Even if it does rain though, we have a plan B ready to swing into action.
“Every year we have our Summer Fayre at St Nicholas Court and the residents and staff thoroughly enjoy it. We love planning the event and hopefully people love coming to it and having a fun day out.
“It is a very important event to us as it helps to raise vital money for our social fund. It means that we can organise day trips, keep-fit classes and other treats for our residents. We recently organised an outing to Dynamic Earth for our residents and they really do get a lot out of these trips”
Some of the attractions include face-painting for the children, a book stall, tombola stall, raffle prizes and refreshments. Entry is just 30p.
