Friday Community Share: We don’t use AI for our posters! 🍃💕🙏

Just wanted to give a little shout-out to our lovely YTP team who create the posters, posts, tickets and more. ☺️💕

In a world where AI is becoming the norm, I think it’s important to celebrate the creativity and hard work that goes into doing things ourselves.

I’ll admit, I do use ChatGPT to help tidy up my writing after I’ve put my own thoughts down.

As someone who is dyslexic, it’s been amazing for helping me express myself more clearly. 💚

However, we’re increasingly concerned about AI’s impact on the environment 🌳 and the jobs and opportunities it could take away from people so I do keep it to a minimum.

So here’s to real people, creativity and all the hard work that happens behind the scenes!

WE CELEBRATE YOU ALL! 🙏

Much Love, Danielle 🌸xx

A little update for our growing community! 💕

Wow, ladies’ Mahjong and Line Dancing this week have had some of the largest numbers we’ve had—our wee community is no longer that wee, lol! 😆

Last night’s line dancing was absolutely amazing.☺️ It was such a fantastic turnout.

Karen Kennedy Line Dance Classes and I are so grateful to see our dancing part of the community growing and to see so many of you enjoying yourselves and dancing together. 💃🙏💕

After giving it some thought, we’ve decided that we’re going to close the group to any new starters until the new year, when we’ll review it again.

We want to make sure everyone has enough space to dance comfortably and enjoy their evenings with us.

We’re sad to say that we’re unable to welcome any new members at the moment, but watch this space for possible new opportunities in the future! 💕

Much love, Dee & Karen ☺️🌸 Xx

So this happening yesterday…

“Congratulations! You are a shortlisted finalist at the Dundee Social Enterprise Network DSEN Awards 2026!

Following our online nomination process, we are delighted to share the exciting news that Danielle Marshall-Fulton has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Leadership Award category at this year’s Dundee Social Enterprise Awards!

Being shortlisted is a fantastic achievement and a reflection of the incredible work you do. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!”

Aw shucks, ladies! 🤭 Thank you to everyone who nominating me for this! I’m honestly in shock and feel a little emotional about it, especially that I’ve even been shortlisted. 💕

I honestly don’t think I do anything special; I just want to bring you all together and make the world a little more loving and supportive. But thank you! 🫂

I am slightly nervous about it all, but even just being shortlisted is wonderful, regardless of the final outcome. 🩷🙏😬

Thank you so much for all your support, love and for making our community what it is. ☺️💕 None of this would mean half as much without the wonderful people who make up this community. Every single one of you brings something special, and I feel so lucky to be surrounded by so much kindness, encouragement and love. 🫂💗

Much love, Dee (Danielle) 🌸
