Once again the Merchant Leisure gang are taking part in the Dragon Boat Race in aid of St Columba's Hospice Care, right here at Port Edgar Marina. As Reigning Champions we a have a lot of pressure.

The Dragon Boat Race Team will be made up of colleagues from The Railbridge, The Piper’s Rest, Burgers and Beers Grillhouse, The Newsroom, Jackson The Tailor and our newest addition Gordons Trattoria.

We are all so excited to jump in our boat, and row hard and fast (and hopefully in sync!), to raise money for a fantastic charity - whilst having great fun! Any support and donations are greatly appreciated. We will do our best to do you proud!

St Columba’s Hospice Care provides palliative and end-of-life care for people with life-limiting illnesses and their families. We’re an independent charity at the heart of our local community and have been offering free, flexible and person-centred care and support to our patients and their families for over 40 years.

You can find out more about all of our services and the work we’re doing across Edinburgh and the Lothians by visiting our website www.stcolumbashospice.org.uk.
