Are you interested in getting involved with some g

Are you interested in getting involved with some gardening? Learning more about edible plants, how to grow them and what you can grow outside in Scotland? Would you just like to get your hands in some soil, or even share your own knowledge of gardening and plants with others?

We are looking for more members for our planter project! Earlier this year, we received some funding from @edinburghccan to buy some lovely planters and plants. Thanks to the hard work of our fabulous community members, we started to transform our previously grey carpark into a beautiful green space with opportunities for us to share gardening skills and knowledge, learn about growing, and get access to much needed time outside.

We've now done all the groundwork and trialled growing lettuce, flowers, herbs, kale and even broccoli in our planters. Looking towards the winter, we're thinking about what plants we can grow through the colder months that are not only edible but bright and colourful as well!

The group meets fortnightly on Wednesdays at 10:30am. We have a cuppa and a chat while we tend to the plants. Often there will be plants to harvest and lots to take home! We're looking for more people to join the group to share ideas, skills, and help with planting, growing and upkeep of our planters. Could it be you? What would you plant in September and October?

Send us an email to events@duncanplace.org to find out more!

Massive thank you to @allaboardedinburgh once agai

Massive thank you to @allaboardedinburgh once again for taking such good care of our Laughter for Health & Happiness group today. The other half of the class took a trip back in April, and we were lucky again to be gifted with lovely weather today. Floating on down the canal, chatting, sharing food, enjoying nature, and taking a break from the busy city streets. We would highly recommend any community groups to get in touch with @allaboardedinburgh They're fantastic! The volunteers made us feel at ease and at home. ❤️

We have a lot of love for our Laughter group who will turn 4 next month; one of our longest running groups! They're really a fantastic bunch, and there was much laughter shared this afternoon, as there is every Thursday morning in Duncan Place. Interested in joining the class? Get in touch with us for more information at events@duncanplace.org

👉 We're opening up a few spaces to join our Tuesday evening community choir. 😮🎶😮🎶😮🎶

Our upcoming 8-week choir block will run from Tuesday 18th August until Tuesday 6th October. The choir meet from 7pm til 8:45pm, and the block costs £45 which is paid in advance before the block starts.

If you'd like to join a friendly bunch of folks in your community to sing together, led by a fantastic, enthusiastic choir leader (Seraph Davidson), then this is the choir for you!

We welcome all singers aged 18 and over, whether you’re a complete beginner or seasoned singer. There are no auditions, and everything is learned by ear, you do not need to read music.

We sing acapella enjoying a range of material from folk, soul, pop, gospel and traditional songs in other languages. Songs that celebrate community, nature and humanity feature highly in the repertoire.

Singing in a choir can be a wonderful boost to your health and wellbeing. It’s a proven way to reduce stress levels and a great way to meet new people.

If you'd like to join, or find out more, please email Drew at events@duncanplace.org

There's only a couple of spaces left for our next

There's only a couple of spaces left for our next new member session at our Laughter for Health and Happiness Group, this Thursday 6th August!

It's hilarious, joyful and a good workout! If you're looking to laugh a bit more, to meet new people, or just to find a new activity that will help you feel healthy and happy, our laughter group is the perfect thing.

We have a new member session on the first session of each month, this month the session falls on this coming Thursday, 6th August. As this is a popular group, we're prioritising folks who live, work, or volunteer in or around Leith, and can attend regularly.

Our weekly Laughter classes run for an hour on Thursday mornings from 11am. Laughter Consultant and Ambassador Jo Bluett will guide the group through learning to use laughter as a tool to lift mood, manage pain & reduce stress. ❤️❤️❤️

The standard class cost is £6. If you'd like to come along and give it a try, please get in touch by emailing events@duncanplace.org to reserve a space (or you can book on Eventbrite!). Let's have a giggle together! 🤣❤️
