Good morning, you lovely lot! ❤️

It might be chilly outside, but our hearts are feeling lovely and warm! 🥰

When the news got out that our buses had been vandalised, the wonderful Ryan from Autospa Valeting & Detailing stepped forward and offered to give them a much-needed clean once the broken glass had been replaced.

And what an amazing job he’s done! ✨ The buses are looking so much better, and we’re incredibly grateful that Ryan took the time to help us out, so generously donating his time and skills.

It’s acts of kindness like this that remind us what a special community we’re part of. 💛

A huge thank you to Ryan for your kindness, generosity and support, we couldn't recommend him highly enough. It means more than you know! 🙌❤️

Last week was National Older Peoples day and we wanted to show something different we did to celebrate that.

Our CEO Pauline, and Engagement and Development Lead Stewart, travelled to the Scottish Parliament to take part in the Scottish Older Peoples Assembly (SOPA) and what an evening it was. Speakers, stalls, networking and action. We were all there for the same reason, ensuring that older people across Scotland still have a voice and that it was heard.

At CACE we will always advocate for and with older people in the community and by going to events like these, we're making sure you are being heard at a national level. We were heartened to see the work that the Scottish Government are working towards achieving but there is a lot more that still needs done. Don't worry, we'll keep you posted and included always.

A massive thank you to Scottish Older People's Assembly for the invite, Befriending Networks CEO Susan Hunter for the fantastic presentation and Simita Kumar MSP - Edinburgh South Western the Minister for Equalities and International Development for pledging more support from the Government in promoting the voice of our older people.

🎉 We’re halfway through the week, and we’ve got something very exciting to share!

Our brand-new website is officially live! 🚀

We’re incredibly proud of the new site and think it’s a huge step forward for us. It’s cleaner, easier to navigate, more user-friendly, and packed with all the information you could need to find out more about who we are, what we do, and how we can help.

Whether you’re a long-time supporter, looking to volunteer, a potential new client, or simply curious to find out more about us, we’d love for you to take a look and let us know what you think! 👀💻

A massive thank you to Thomas from Obturis for all his hard work, creativity and patience throughout the process. From the initial ideas right through to the finished website, your support and expertise have been invaluable. We genuinely couldn’t have done it without you! 🙌

If you’re thinking about giving your website a refresh, or you’re looking to create a brand-new one from scratch, we couldn’t recommend Obturis highly enough. They’ve been fantastic to work with from start to finish.

So, what are you waiting for? Go and have a look! It's the same address as normal, but just in case you need a wee reminder, here's the link.

Happy Friday, everyone! ☀️

Just a quick update before we head into the weekend — we’re absolutely delighted to share that our brand-new website will be launching very soon!

We’ve been working alongside Thomas from Obturis on the new design, and we can’t wait to show you the fresh new look. As we make the final changes, you may experience some issues accessing our current website over the next few days, so please don’t worry if things look a little different or are temporarily unavailable.

As soon as the new site is live, we’ll share another post with all the details so you can have a look around.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone, and thank you for your continued support! 💙

🌟 Halfway through the week… and it’s time to celebrate our community! 🌟

As we continue shining a spotlight on the incredible charities, groups and community organisations that make such a difference to the people around them, this week we're heading slightly further afield… over to Twechar! 💚

And what better place to visit than the fantastic Twechar Healthy Living & Enterprise Centre ?

Our Day Support team, now known as CACE CARES, have been based over at the centre for some time now, and they’ve absolutely loved becoming part of the community there. It’s a brilliant place where people can come together, get involved, learn something new, have a chat and, most importantly, feel welcome. 🏡

There’s so much going on at the Healthy Living Centre, from strength and balance classes and bike repairs to community transport and plenty more besides. There really is something for everyone!

And of course… we can’t forget the café! ☕🍰
There are some very tasty cakes on offer, so we highly recommend popping in for a cuppa and a wee treat.

Although… we might need to apologise in advance if we’ve already eaten all the cake. 😂

We also want to give a massive CACE shout-out to Caitlin, one of the wonderful volunteers at the centre. 💚

Caitlin has been such a fantastic support to our service users and is always an absolute delight to have around. Her kindness, warmth and willingness to help have made such a positive difference, and she is a real credit to the Healthy Living Centre team.

So, if you happen to pop into the centre and see Caitlin, make sure you say hello — and let her know that everyone at CACE says hi! 👋

It’s places and people like this that remind us just how important our local community spaces are. They bring people together, create connections and give everyone a place where they can feel part of something.

So, Twechar Healthy Living & Enterprise Centre … this week, we’re celebrating you! 💚

Who else should we be shining a spotlight on next? Let us know in the comments! 👇

🎶 Good morning, you lovely lot! 🎶

Who’s ready for a little bit of singing, reminiscing, good company… and, of course, a slice or two of cake? 🍰☕️

We’re delighted to be teaming up with Anam Alba for another morning of Music & Memories, bringing people together for a good old-fashioned singalong and a chance to share some stories, memories and plenty of smiles along the way. ❤️

Whether you’re someone who loves to sing your heart out 🎤, prefers to sit back and enjoy the music, or simply fancy a relaxed morning surrounded by friendly faces, you’re more than welcome to join us!

Music has a wonderful way of bringing people together, sparking memories and starting conversations — and that’s exactly what these mornings are all about. There’s no pressure to sing, no auditions required and absolutely no need to be pitch perfect! 😂

Just come along, get yourself comfortable, enjoy a cuppa, have a chat, indulge in a wee bit of cake and, if the mood takes you, join in with some of those familiar songs we all know and love. 🎶🍰

📅 We’ll be here from 11am and would love to see some familiar faces as well as anyone who hasn’t joined us before.

So, why not pop along, bring a friend, and make a morning of it?

Music, memories, laughter, cake and community — what more could you ask for? ❤️

We’ll see you there! 🎶😊

✨ We're halfway through the week already — now, if we could just have a little word with the weather for the remainder of it! ☀️🤞

As we continue shining a spotlight on the fantastic charities and community groups making a difference in our communities, this week we wanted to put centre stage an organisation that, quite honestly, we’re convinced never sleeps! 😄

From Spanish lessons and singing to reminiscence sessions and even taking to the stage at the Fringe, these incredible humans at Anam Alba seem to have an endless supply of creativity, energy and passion for bringing people together.

Their mission says it perfectly:

“We create the space to build healthy relationships and community, learning through stories and the arts.”

And they really do live and breathe it. Through creativity, storytelling, music and the arts, they create welcoming spaces where people can connect, learn, share experiences and simply enjoy being part of something special.

We’ve had the absolute pleasure of working closely with them and seeing first-hand the difference they make. Their passion for people and community shines through in everything they do, and we’re incredibly grateful to have them as friends and neighbours.

If you haven't already discovered what they're all about — and we'd be genuinely surprised if you haven't! — please take a moment to check them out. We promise you won't be disappointed.

Here’s to celebrating the people and organisations who keep our communities creative, connected and full of life. 💛✨

Whether you're a seasoned singer, a shower-singing superstar, or someone who prefers to hum along quietly, everyone is welcome! 🎤
