Volunteer with Bield
The Edinburgh Ceilidh Club is 10!
Stockbridge Penguin Project
ESPC raise funds for Royal Blind
Fireworks at Hopetoun
Bield, one of Scotland’s leading care and housing providers, is highlighting the important role that volunteers play in assisting older people to enjoy happy and fulfilled lives.
Gordon Court in Leith is looking for volunteer befrienders to get to know tenants and help restore confidence while encouraging them to engage socially in the wider community.
The befriender program is crucial and volunteers are asked to commit to only a few hours a week to build a satisfying and ongoing companionship with a tenant at Gordon Court.
This Friday 6th Nov The Edinburgh Ceilidh Club have yet another ceilidh with Teannaich ceilidh band at the Assembly Roxy.
Doors open at 7:15pm with dancing beginning at 7:30pm
You can get your tickets online from www.edinburghceilidhs.com or in person from the Tickets Scotland box office on Rose Street.
Again tickets are selling fast for this ceilidh but there are still a few available so don’t miss it…
They might even have a few extra treats for you all as they celebrate their 10th birthday!
If you are shopping down in Stockbridge you cannot miss the penguins which are decorating the shop windows there! It is a fundraising initiative for two great Edinburgh charities:
“In previous years we have seen Giraffes, Elephants and Scottish Terriers fill the shop windows of Stockbridge, all organised by local business to support Edinburgh charities and this year is no exception, as from the 1st of November to the 22nd of December 60 local businesses will be fundraising, displaying their decorated papier mâché penguins for two Edinburgh charities LifeCare and It’s Good To Give. If you would like to win a particular penguin, the penguins have ‘birthdays’, for £1 you can select an available birthday at the individual businesses for a chance to win their penguin.”
ESPC, the local property marketing experts for East Central Scotland, has handed over a staggering £2400 to help support its chosen charity, Royal Blind Edinburgh, following its annual quiz night.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service are keen for you to attend an organised bonfire and fireworks event this year, and there is one at Hopetoun House if you can get a ticket. Details of the event which takes place on 7 November 2015 are here.
If not then here is a video to make up for it!

The Reporter is not the same without its daily round-up of events in Edinburgh. I relied on it for ideas of what to do in the city! Please consider bringing back this valuable list.
Thank you Susan for your comment – there are some what’s on events in our Five things you need to know today article. The trouble was that the list took so long to prepare that our Rosemary Kaye could not get out to any events! Now she is as free as a bird and can actually report on some shows or book events. If anyone wants to take up the challenge however then the opportunity is there for someone to compile the list for us! Or of course if anyone is organising an event then they can add it here. https://theedinburghreporter.co.uk/submit-story/
