To mark #ToAbsentFriends Week we worked with @strathcarron1 to create a school fundraising event that captured the whole community to raise funds for the hospice & local Snowdrop Cafe! Thank you to everyone who sponsored our learners! #TeamFallin ๐๐๐ #itallbeginsinFallin
@FallinPrimary pupils painted stones in memory of loved ones and today took part in a sponsored walk in the village in aid of the Hospice and the local Snowdrop Cafรฉ. They laid their stones in a cairn as a community to mark #ToAbsentFriends week and had a moment of reflection.

We were pleased to be able to fund this lovely event through one of our #ToAbsentFriends small grants. Fantastic work by the @DanceBase community.
An uplifting launch of 'Dancing on' - an exhibition celebrating @DanceBase's work with older dancers - looking forwards as well as remembering absent friends. #ToAbsentFriends
