Activities stories
Thoughts from some Old Town residents on our activities and organisation.
From coming to the Crannie and all the different groups, it really has enhanced my life considerably. Coming to the creative writing class, the craft workshops and the book club… it's made a huge difference and I truly appreciate it.
I think creativity is the most important thing that human beings contribute to the planet. So, music, poetry, writing, maybe some creative filming, art – all of these things add to the picture of diversity.
I have just started volunteering with the Crannie and I am looking forward to meeting new people and working within my community to strengthen our connections.
