Blackwood Bakes has brought so many good cakes this morning. Vegan chocolate and biscoff fudge cake (its too big to fit under the lid!!)

So those who frequent our cafe on a Saturday morning will have tasted the delicious Red Squirrel Coffee that we use. Well, Fraser and his team have now opened their own Espresso Bar at Fountain Bridge. So, the next time you go into town or head along the canal, why not pop in to Fir Espresso Bar and enjoy a coffee there. Really lovely location and really lovely coffee. I just popped in on my lunch break.

All of us at Currie Community Centre are extremely saddened to learn of the sudden passing of our fellow trustee Gerry Butler.

Gerry has been the soul of Currie Community Centre for over a quarter of a century. His enthusiasm to resolve a problem; his energy to getting jobs done; and his quiet leadership. For me personally I will very much miss his guidance and support. We will all miss his friendship.

A great community man who will be missed by many. Our thoughts are with his family at this time.

Huge thanks to everyone who dropped off donations for Fresh Start at Currie Community Centre. Fresh Start collected from us this morning after picking up items from Balerno Parish Church, and they were absolutely delighted with the community’s generosity.

A reminder that CCC is a regular drop-off point. To arrange a drop-off, please email [email protected]
or pop along to our Saturday café (running during term time only) between 9am and 12 noon—and treat yourself to a scrumptious cake while you’re there!
