Happy New Year!!

(even though it is February)

This is just a message to inform you all that EATC is still here, sorry for not posting in a while, we have been very busy building a base for the centre!

Since December we have received funding from The Neighbourhood Partnership (Edinburgh City Council), to run art therapy sessions with people living with a diagnosis of dementia. This project is running successfully at the Eric Liddell Centre and is reaching out to local care homes. We are currently seeking funding to continue and develop this project.

We are now partners with the Scottish Adoption Association, and through the Cattanach Trust have received funding to work with adoptive families as an early intervention programme. This project will be up and running shortly.

We have been selected for the Waitrose Community Matters fund, and would greatly appreciate your help in popping that little green token into the EATC box in order for us to get a donation towards the centre.

We will be taking referalls through the centre very shortly and will have a team of art therapists here to help you!

Watch out for our new website coming soon!
