With Kids Edinburgh - Ladies Lunch

With Kids may have originated in the east end of Glasgow, however did you know that we also help vulnerable children and families in Edinburgh?

Thanks to Inspiring Scotland, who provided funding for our Edinburgh pilot based in Wester Hailes in the south-west of the city, we now reach even more vulnerable families across Scotland on a daily basis.

And on Friday 28th of September, we are hosting a Ladies Lunch at the beautifully restored Grade A Ghillie Dhu in Edinburgh - where all proceeds from the event will go to our Wester Hailes Project.

The afternoon, hosted by Peter Ferguson of PDF Productions, will include entertainment by the fabulous Edward Reid, semi-finalist on Britain’s Got Talent.

fatBuzz, a social media, design, marketing and events management company from Glasgow, is organising the event and the champagne reception is sponsored by Inverarity Morton, one of Scotland's largest independent drinks suppliers.

There will also be an opportunity to shop from a selection of pop up shops including Nova Handbags and Orli Jewellery.

There are a variety of ways in which you can help. You could become a sponsor for the afternoon or you could take a table. A table for 10 is priced at £500, or individual tickets can be bought for £50.

If you are unable to attend, perhaps you could help in some other way? We are looking for auction and raffle prizes or maybe you would simply like to make a donation?

To book a ticket, or table, please email events@fatbuzz.com

You can now follow With Kids Edinburgh on Twitter, where you can keep up to date with our latest news and information.

We will also be revealing our new With Kids Edinburgh ambassador, who is an ex-Scotland rugby international, as soon as possible! Can you guess who it will be?

With Kids Santa Cruise...

We recently shared the news that Inspiring Scotland have provided funding for a one year pilot of With Kids to be set up in Edinburgh. We are delighted to let you all know that we have now set up in the Whale Art Centre, in Wester Hailes, Edinburgh. This means that we are able to work with families further afield. We will keep you posted with the developments in Edinburgh.

62 of the kids from our new Edinburgh base will be going on a Santa Cruise on the 21st of December. The cruise has a Christmas theme and our friends at Re-union have helped organise the trip down Union Canal from Wester Hailes to Fountain Bridge and back. We're all looking forward to it as it's our first trip organised for the kids in Edinburgh.

We are really excited about the year ahead as we will be able to work closely with families and children who can benefit from the work we do. To find out more about what we do please visit our website.
