Could you support the Art Group’s success at the Botanic Cottage?
Led by Lindsay, with enthusiastic support from volunteers Katrina and Alexa, our Parkinson’s Art Group has successfully re-established regular Thursday afternoon sessions at the beautiful Botanic Cottage at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.
We now need an extra Volunteer to attend and support Thursday afternoon sessions which run from 1pm to 3pm. Volunteers provide a helpful presence and simple practical support that makes these valuable sessions workable and well worthwhile. An online volunteer induction process is provided by Parkinson’s UK.
