There is one thing that you can say about being a part of The Forget Me Notes Project you never have an ordinary week. We have had really good Music Memory sessions at Eagle Lodge, Quarries and Ashbrook. Our session at Ashbrook saw sixteen people attending which was great and the most we have ever had to this group. The sessions lead by Kenny and John at St Brides and the session led by Alan and Alice at Seagrove were also positive sessions.

We also had the most amazing session at Saughton Park in the glasshouse. The children from Broomhouse Primary school joined us and we enjoyed their Scottish highland dancing and the songs we sang together. We had the biggest turn out we have ever had. The enthusiasm that the children bring to the session is truly infectious. The singing of Ya Cannae Shuv Yer Grannie Off A Bus was just brilliant.

We have a had two new projects this week that have confirmed they would like to work with The Forget Me Notes Project and we will also be speaking to two other providers this coming week about future work.

We submitted two funding applications this week which is not bad going and we have one to send this week. If you are a member of the Co-op then you could be of help to us. We have been nominated for a grant and all we have to do is get members of the Co-op to nominate us as their preferred charity. The more people who nominate us the more money we will get, so if you are able to vote for us, we would be very grateful.
