Welcome return

The Friendship Cafe returns to Rattray Hall on Balmoral Road on Thursday this week after a hiatus of nearly three years due to the global coronavirus pandemic. The weekly get-together takes place from 10am to 11.30am and offers teas and coffees, friendship and music for those who come along. Open to everyone, the Friendship Cafe aims to help reduce loneliness and social isolation in the local community. There is no charge, although donations towards costs are appreciated. Those behind the cafe are also keen to hear from anyone who might have a few hours to spare and would be interested in helping run the sessions. For more information, call Aly Muir on 01250 873602 or email alymuir@ hotmail.co.uk. Aly, centre, is pictured previously with Sheila and Ian Simpson. Pic: Clare Damodaran
