💛🕯💛 We invite you to join our virtual service as we come together to honour and remember the loved ones we’ve lost.

At the heart of the service is the lighting of a candle, a moment to reflect on the life and memory of someone cherished.

This gentle event brings our community together in reflection and hope, no matter where you are in Scotland.

You can join the service here:

Please feel welcome to share with anyone who may find comfort in attending. 💛🕯💛

"Carole Downie, Ladies Captain at Prestonfield Golf Club nominated Marie Curie, Fairmilehead as the Women's Section charity for 2025. This was following her personal experience of the excellent care and support provided to family members. Raffles were held throughout the year at Women's Open Competitions and at the Ladies Captain v Ladies Vice Captain's Charity Day. We were grateful to everyone who supported our nominated charity to enable us to raise this fantastic amount."

Our heartfelt thanks to all the wonderful ladies at Prestonfield GC for their support throughout the year which culminated in the outstanding total of £2318 for care across Edinburgh and the Lothians. We are so grateful to you for choosing us; thank you for making a difference. 💛🏌🏽‍♀️💛

📣✨👏🏼🍾🥂🎉£12,286.75!🎉🥂🍾👏🏼✨📣

We are unbelievably grateful to Howies Restaurants for choosing to support us with their 3-month Summer campaign across their 3 Edinburgh locations which raised such an incredible amount for us; we are over the moon and beyond! 🌙💫🚀

Patrons were invited to donate on top of their bill, and their overwhelming generosity means the world to us. Heartfelt thanks to you all. And of course to all the restaurant staff for their part too, and for looking after us last week when we were treated to a truly lavish lunch. And maybe, just maybe, some bubbles too. 🥂 Devine.

You are all superstars, thank you, thank you, thank you. 💛💛💛
