October is Cholesterol Awareness Month - did you know that eating at least 4 portions of beans, peas or lentils can lower cholesterol and improve long term heart health? With the colder weather rolling in, a curry is a wonderfully warming way to boost your nutrition.

Come along and join us for a delicious and nutritious selection of curries at the Community Lunch. Food will be served at 12:30pm at Murrayburn St Nicholas Church tomorrow. See you there!

Last week, Rebecca and a small group went on a tram trip to see the Knife Angel in Leith. The group were taken aback at the impact of the piece and found it a meaningful visit.

We made sure to enjoy a coffee and each other's company afterwards before getting the tram home. What a delightful afternoon!

The Knife Angel will be leaving Edinburgh tomorrow (30th Sept) so you still have a chance to pop down to Leith for a visit if you are interested. Read more about it here: https://www.britishironworkcentre.co.uk/national-anti-violence-uk-tour/

A small group of us had the opportunity to see the spectacular Barnsley Youth Choir today at Greyfriar's Kirk. Not only was the concert a treat, but it was the first time for a couple of us to have been to the Kirk. What a day!

Deepest thanks to Edinburgh Festival Fringe for the complimentary tickets and for their continued support towards our community.
