at the heart of the matter...

eco - friendly way of being

Taking care of our beautiful planet is a cause which many people feel they are at the heart of - whether giving up plastic bags or participating in the 'new coat' scheme, where you simply choose a coat and can donate too. We all have a role to play no matter how small.

true to the heart of midlothian

This brilliant part of the U.K. has plenty of things going on where we can participate and find our own niche. What does the typical Midlothian lady seek out? Many services; to nail salons to a quiet walk or somewhere reasonably priced. A good coffee at the local bakers will do for me but sometimes a wee afternoon tea might be a good idea...

cultural diversity

With a host of different backgrounds, experiences and outlooks, it is interesting to hear the array of languages spoken. Midlothian feels like a wee melting pot highlighting the uniqueness of us all.

Technology social media

Living through this technological 'revolution' sometimes I feel left behind and struggling with 'technophobia' now and again...but everything has advanced so quickly with almost everything at the touch of a button these days which is wonderful but lets not lose our face to face interactions.

We all want to live in a more inclusive society where everyone of us has a place. Regardless of our age, marital status and disabilities. We are living in a thriving community where often equality and diversity are celebrated and connections built upon.

On Monday the 20th of May, starting in Gorebridge at 1.30pm, the event kicks off! From addressing mental health issues to LGBT issues, it is all there - with a range of organisations working towards equality. Raising awareness is key.

There will be a mix of culture, entertainment and food at this hosted event with free admission! To find out times, subjects and more: www.midlothian.gov.uk/EMW

The event is supported by Midlothian People's Equality Group.

From hand painting to online sessions, there is something for all.
