Office Refurbishment

Over the last few months if you have been in you may have noticed some changes to our office. It is now a much more user friendly and welcoming space. We as a staff team are very happy and very grateful to have this space “Funded by Scottish Ministers in conjunction with the Tyne & Esk Local Action Group”

Happy New Year!

We turn 50 this year!

If anyone has any old photos or memories they would be happy to share with us please get in touch. We would love to hear from anyone with stories to share.

Christmas Party Time!

Our second Christmas party was another brilliant day. We had entertainment from Tomas Wales. Lots of singing and dancing. We were also lucky enough to have a visit from Santa thanks to Leuchie house.

We had one of our Christmas Parties and what a brilliant time we had, with music from Kenny and Norma. The Christmas Jumpers were on display. We were delighted to receive a large donation from Dunbar Rotary containing most of the food we needed. We also received a donation from Asda Dunbar. We are very thankful.

Beach Wheelchair Trip

We recently enjoyed a wonderful trip to North Berwick to use the Beach Wheelchairs and then lunch at Merry Hatton Garden Centre, this charity has allowed our service users to go on the beach again after many years. This outing was funded by money we received from Dunbar Community Council a big thank you to them.

Care Inspectorate Visit

We recently had an Inspection from Care Inspectorate. The inspector was with us for 2 days and spoke to lots of staff and service users. The full inspection can be found on the Care Inspectorate website or here InspectionReport-323918 We are delighted with how It went and very proud of all our staff and the work they do.

Therapy Ponies

We were delighted to welcome along Wilson and Flicker from Therapy Ponies Scotland. They were absoloutely stunning and all our service users had a brilliant time.

We were delighted to have a visit from The Beach Wheelchairs and a demo of the wheelchairs and walkers that they have available. We hope to organise a visit to enjoy the facilities very soon.

WW2 Assembly

We were invited to attend the Primary 7 WW2 assembly at the School, some of our service users, staff and volunteers went down and they had a brilliant day. We thank the Primary for the invitation.

Charity Day at Victorias

On Sunday 6th of October, Victorias the hair salon opened their doors for a charity day. Victoria, Nadia, Elaine, Holly and Rhia all gave up a lazy Sunday and opted to cut hair and donate the money to Dunbar Day Centre. We are extremely grateful and absolutely blown away by the more than £1400 raised for us! Thanks also to Peter for running the tombola stall and Tanya for helping the stylists when it got a bit hectic! Special thanks to everyone who made an appointment and popped in for a shot on the tombola or bought some cakes, you really have made a difference.

Sadly we were so busy we didn’t get many photos!
