In 2023, our Community Activity team are hosting a free social gathering at The Gardener's Cottage in the Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh, every last Monday of the month, from 10:30 am to 12 noon, and we’d love for anyone with sight loss and their friends, family or careers to come along!

This social event is for people with sight loss to come together in a supportive and safe environment to meet new and other visually impaired people in their community.

Come along and stay for as long as you'd like! There will be free tea and coffee provided from 10:30 am to 12:00 noon.

Please arrive approximately 10 minutes early, a member of our Activity Team will be at both the East and West Gate to meet you and bring you to the Cottage.

To let us know you'll be there, please get in touch with our Community Activity team by calling 0800 024 8973 or emailing supportline@sightscotland.org.uk.
