Today we were delighted to welcome Mary from Playlist for Life and Caroline from AbilityNet, who provided training for some of our volunteers and carers.

It was a really enjoyable session, with lots of useful tips, good discussion and ideas that everyone can put into practice straight away.

A Huge Thank You to Claire and the team at The Tin Cafe Dunblane for their incredible donation of Β£950, raised during their quiz night in November. Your continued support means so much to us and makes a real difference in the work we do.

We are celebrating Burns at the Wednesday Club. Did you know he was going to be an exciseman based in Dunblane but died before he could take up the position?

Only an Irishman in Scotland would think this was a good idea. Our very own Paul is willingly to jump out of a plane to support us. We think that deserves a bit of sponsorship (and maybe a helmet). If you can spare a penny or two we’d be hugely grateful. justgiving.com/page/paulnel...

If you’re thinking about fundraising in 2026, we’d be delighted if you considered supporting us.
Big or small, sponsored or social – from steps to skydives – we promise lots of encouragement and support πŸ’™

More Dementia Friendly Community certificates handed out. So many in the Dunblane community, whether shops, schools, churches, ..... are aware of and support those living with dementia and proudly display the certificates on their walls.
