October Round-Up
Thanks to everyone who came along to our Halloween Party and AGM! We had a spooktacular time! Take a look at the images below!
All the details from our AGM and our awesome new impact video can be found here: AGM. Don’t forget to renew your membership whilst you’re looking!
We moved to Gorgie Memorial Hall from Granton thanks to the help of the team from McLaughlin & Harvey Ltd who provided us with a van and volunteers for all the boxes, desks and cupboards!
Then there’s our usual work supporting families through groups, music tuition, workshops, young dad work and perinatal peer support programmes. We also had Art workshops, teamed up with LGBT Health and Wellbeing to host a family pumpkin carving workshop and worked with NSPCC Scotland on their Pants campaign. Greg also went along to the SNP Conference to support Pregnant then Screwed talking about How To End The Motherhood Penalty.
