As January comes to an end, it’s a good moment to recognise your small wins - the pauses, the steps you took and the ways you cared for yourself. These moments matter.

A fresh start is never limited to one month. You can reset, reflect or reconnect whenever you need to. What is one small thing you want to carry into next month? A mindful moment, a daily walk, a check-in with a friend or a healthier boundary?

Last summer we campaigned to save Redhall Walled Garden from proposed funding cuts.

Thanks to the support of everyone - from Edinburgh's politicians, members of the public, and most importantly, the people we support, we were able to keep the garden open for anyone to enjoy 🍃

Susan came across Redhall by chance during a period of severe depression, anxiety and thoughts of su***de.

“Before Redhall, I felt suicidal and nearly lost my life. Redhall has helped me reclaim who I am.

"The team at Redhall helped me find a pathway into employment by improving my confidence, navigating from a place of illness to wellness. And that’s really helped me flourish.

“Growing sunflowers in particular just fills me with joy. They’re like happy flowers. You see them and just can’t help but smile.” 🌞

Our garden is open for anyone to visit Monday to Friday 9am–4pm 🧡 Find us at 97 Lanark Rd, Edinburgh EH14 2LZ.

We wish to offer our encouragement and support to anyone working towards new year resolutions this year. Making changes or starting new things can be difficult, but just deciding to try is extremely brave. As you work towards your resolutions, be patient with yourself and try to find encouragement in even the little moves you make. And even if you aren't able to do what you hoped, you should be proud of yourself. 💜

Best of luck with whatever you are working towards and with whatever else you decide to do this year!

Hi all. Big thanks to all who came to the open mic from Mad Jam on Sat. Thanks for your continued support. Much appreciated! Flagging up that one dangly earing was found beside the stage at end of the night. Handed in to caretaker who said he'd put it in the church's lost property box. See everyone soon. Cheers, Martin👍

Wow!!!
