Support the women of Southside Art Group to enjoy a wee Christmas lunch and party.

As was the case in previous years I will not be sending Christmas cards (except to my daughter and grandson).

It has become customary for me to make a small donation to a good cause in lieu of cards.

This year I am donating to Southside Art Group. A long-standing group which meets each week in Southside Community Centre. The women gather in the centre from all over Edinburgh to enjoy company, conversation and creativity, in a warm and welcoming community centre.

Could you make a small donation too? The women would be most grateful, as would I.
