A huge thank you to everyone who came along to our Volunteers Open Day last week! 💛

Not the sunniest of days but it stayed dry for our BBQ and of course we had our lovely garden room to keep warm in.

We hope you all enjoyed the day and look forward to hearing from anyone who would like to join us as a volunteer.

A big thank you again to the Ballater Charitable Chiels for their help with maintaining our playground. 💛

This will be a painted character board with face spaces for children to pop their heads through! So far we are thinking the Old Man of Lochnagar.... We would love some more suggestions, pop them in the comments below or drop us a message.

Blue skies and a little royal history ☀️

The Old Royal Station in Ballater was the closest station to Balmoral Castle - the Scottish holiday home of the Royal Family.

The building is now known as the Rothesay rooms, a beautiful cafe where you can dine next to an old train cart! 🚂
