Macmillan Coffee Morning

In September each year individuals and groups get together to hold coffee mornings for Macmillan Cancer Support.

In Edinburgh North and Leith the MP Deidre Brock and the MSP Ben Macpherson are combining forces to invite everyone to a coffee morning at the Heart of Newhaven.

Are you holding a coffee morning? Then let us know and we will tell everyone about it. If you would like to raise funds in this way then Macmillan have a lot of ideas and resources to help you on this page here.

And if you are looking for inspiration about what to bake then there are recipes on the Macmillan site here.

Doors Open Day 2023

Today’s suggestion is to go to Corstorphine and have a look at the Corstorphine Astoria Centre which will be open on Sunday 24 September from noon until 4pm. The Trust which runs the centre restored the organ which is the smallest theatre organ in the UK. The Astoria Cinema was demolished in the mid 1970s but the organ remains as a reminder of days gone by.

Our September issue

Our September newspaper was published on 1 September.

Our cover story is about the Lord Provost and Council Leader who took riding lessons to allow them to take part in the Riding of the Marches while inside we take up the story of Larah Bross and her chain of bagel shops which employs around 70 people in the city – one of which is now closed. The story has moved on since our paper was published and you can read more here.
