We know, we know... it's far too early to be talking about Christmas!

But enquiries for end of year bookings aboard the Vine Trust Barge are already starting to come in, so we thought we'd give you a little heads-up.

Looking for somewhere different in Edinburgh to host your Christmas get-together this November or December?

✨ Team celebrations
✨ Festive lunches
✨ Evening gatherings with food and drinks
✨ Family, friends or community groups

The VT Barge offers a unique waterfront venue with plenty of character and a warm welcome.

If you're thinking ahead and would like to secure a date, get in touch with Jacqui at [email protected].

We can't promise snow, but we can promise a memorable setting!

Millburn Academy student, Kiera Black travelled to Tanzania in 2025 🇹🇿

"The trip broadened my perspectives, taught me many invaluable life lessons, and left me with friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. It also showed me what meaningful community development should look like: collaborative, respectful, and humble rather than performative or ill-informed."

🌍 Partnering for Better Health - Volunteer with Vine Trust in 2026 🌍

The UN has declared 2026 the International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development! At Vine Trust, we work alongside local healthcare teams and connect medical volunteers to our partnership programmes in Peru and Tanzania, supporting long-term health initiatives in underserved communities.

If you’re a healthcare professional or final-year student (medical, dental, nursing, midwifery), you can contribute your skills to strengthen community-led healthcare efforts on one of our 2026 medical expeditions. Contact [email protected] for more information.
