Hearts & Voices

Some really special events planned for this weekend. 💙

24/06/2022

We're so excited! Friendship and Fun classes start today! 2-4pm at the Gillespie Centre in Biggar. Come along and enjoy each others company (and tea and cake!). There will be singing!

So, things have been a little quiet on the Hearts and Voices front and this is why. We have been working on a new project which is starting very soon in Biggar. It will incorporate all the health and wellbeing benefits of our singing group but will include so much more. It's all rather exciting - see below.
Our singing only group may come back to life again in the future, perhaps in a slightly different guise, but for now we are moving forward with Life Well Lived.

Delighted to have secured funding from Scottish Governments Mental heath and well-being fund to run two groups in the community at The Gillespie centre.

Friendship & Fun starts Friday 24th June 2-4pm

Exploring death, loss & change Sunday 26th 2-4pm
