In one month a team from the Caledonian Club of 6 people, and our very own Community Engagement Officer, Joseph Espindola, will take on the Thames Moonlight 10 Walk, a night time hike around central London, all to raise funds for Scots facing hardship — from young people to families and older generations in need of support.

Thank you so much to them!

Can you show them some love and donate to their fundraising pages?

Looking for your next great read?

There's something special about sharing a good book. The stories that stay with us, the characters we can't forget, and the conversations that continue long after we've turned the final page.

If that sounds like your kind of afternoon, why not join St Columba's Book Club?

Our next meeting is on Tuesday 8 September, when we'll be discussing the prize-winning novel The Correspondent by Virginia Evans. Looking ahead, we'll also be reading The Caspian Amulet - perfect inspiration if you're planning your summer reading list.

Whether you're a lifelong book lover or simply looking to meet new people and enjoy good conversation, you'll find a warm welcome.

And with the St Andrew's Book Festival returning to St Columba's later this year, there's never been a better time to celebrate the joy of reading.

Now we'd love to hear from you...

What's the best book you've read this year? We'd love to fill the comments with recommendations for everyone's summer reading list!

To find out more about joining the Book Club, please contact the church office.

Would you like to support ScotsCare but not sure how? You could walk the Thames Moonlight 10 mile event to help our clients.

It's on Friday September 11th 2026, and we're looking for participants to raise funds for our services. We ask that you raise over £150. It's over a great route through central London, taking in many of the bridges and sights. Fuly supported and with great hospitality. How long would it take you?

For more details and how to sign up please email [email protected] or check our website.

The summer holidays are wonderful... but let's be honest, six weeks can feel like a long time!

It's six weeks of:
"What shall we do today?"
"Can we go somewhere?"
And, all too often, wondering how to keep everyone entertained without spending a fortune.

The good news is that making great memories doesn't have to come with a hefty price tag. We've found this brilliant guide packed with free things to do with children across London, from parks and museums to playgrounds, nature trails and hidden gems.

Take a look here: https://www.mummytravels.com/free-things-to-do-in-london-with-kids/

Now we'd love to hear from you!

What's the best FREE activity you've discovered for children during the summer holidays?

Do you have a favourite park, museum, beach, walk, splash pad or hidden gem that other families should know about?

Please share your ideas in the comments so we can build a list of great free days out together. And if you know another parent, grandparent or carer who might find this useful, feel free to share this post with them too!
