We were pleased to be able to show Angus Robertson around the Joinery and Woodwork workshops on Friday as part of his tour of the Garvald Gorgie Workshops. He wrote about his visit here edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion/c… for Edinburgh Evening News

Fantastic to visit Garvald on Gorgie Road, which supports those with disabilities to find meaningful work through creative practices. Thanks to all who welcomed Councillor Cllr Vicky Nicolson and me.

One of our members, Freddie, has been featured in a piece about the importance and benefit of forming friendships with people with disabilities. We're very fortunate to also call Freddie our friend. news.stv.tv/scotland/felic…

We were pleased to be able to welcome Cari from the Columcille centre in Morningside to the joinery and woodwork workshops today. Cali is starting as workshop leader in their Joinery workshop and we were happy to share our experience with her. Good luck Cari!

We had our first ever Storytelling day event at the Gorgie workshops today and it was the most amazing thing. Looking forward to sharing some clips with you all in the coming days.

As well as saying some lovely things about our Joinery workshop leader, AgainstTheGrain have also donated donated some delicious gift packs of beer to our tombola. Come along on Saturday for a chance to win.
