Two Edinburgh charities LifeCare Edinburgh and Duddingston Kirk Lunch Club, which support the independence and wellbeing of older people in Edinburgh, were presented with ‘Queen’s Awards for Voluntary Service’ by the Lord Provost Donald Wilson at the celebration.
They were joined by a guest list featuring dedicated workers from the city’s third sector, community council members, Edinburgh British Empire Medal recipients and local philanthropists in the grounds of Lauriston Castle as a ‘thank you’ for their contribution to community life.
