Hello and welcome to the Dementia Friendly East Lothian Winter Newsletter.
The DFEL Gathering will be on Tuesday 26th November, 10am - 3.30pm at the Maitlandfield House Hotel. The agenda, as usual, is set through community conversations and groups. This Gathering, we're focussing on:
- Carers
- Transport
- Information
The Gathering is a great place to share ideas and stories. If you have something you want everyone to know or an issue you want to raise, please get in touch.

Community conversations about Meeting Centres are progressing in collaboration with Area Partnerships and sub groups. Musselburgh, Tranent and Dunbar discussions are underway. If you're interested, get in touch.
We also welcome 2 new Life Changes Trust Projects running across Scotland over the next 5 years. They have kindly agreed to hold events in East Lothian on 27 and 28th November and staff will be at The Gathering too, so lots of chances to make contact.
