A huge thank you to Alyson and ASDA Portlethen for selecting us as one of two charities chosen for award this quarter in the ASDA Foundation's Better Together fund.![]()
The funding will mainly go to our 'Cooking with Confidence' group that promotes socialising, meal planning, healthy communal eating, good budgeting and recipe sharing for older people.![]()
So, with ASDA's help, the larder will be well stocked for months to come and a lot of people will be significantly less lonely.![]()
As you may be aware, a big part of our operation is transport - and ASDA Portlethen is no stranger to our weekly minibus shopping excursions!![]()

Coming into the Silly Season, things can get a bit hectic and you might need something uplifting - join us next week for laughter, movement, breathing exercises and meditation.![]()
Community Laughter Reset is a fun and playful practice that combines spontaneous laughter, breathing exercises, and a touch of meditation. In a class, you'll engage in childlike play, doing silly laughter exercises, deep breathing, and moments of quiet mindfulness to help trigger genuine laughter—no jokes needed!![]()
Cindy @findyourvoicewithcindy will guide us through these sessions. The laughter helps reduce stress, boost your mood, and increase overall well-being, while the deep breathing increases oxygen flow to the brain and the meditation fosters a sense of inner calm. It’s a wonderful way to reconnect with your inner child, improve mental clarity, and enjoy the uplifting benefits of laughter.![]()
You’ll leave feeling energised, relaxed, and with a refreshed sense of joy, all while connecting with others. As always, it's best to check with a healthcare professional if you have any medical concerns before starting.![]()
To help nurture a spirit of commitment to attendance we now request a donation to secure your place. For this event a suggested donation is £2-£7 but whatever you can offer is gratefully received and goes towards our work supporting community wellbeing.![]()
