We are very pleased to invite you to our annual Gathering, which will take place at Kirkintilloch Baptist Church (click the link to find out where it is!) on Saturday 16th September 15.00 - 16.30. This will be the usual opportunity to hear from Mhoira and the Cairdeas team about what's been happening over the past year and some plans for the future.

The event will kick start our Purple Party campaign (see below) so if you can, come dressed in purple and ready to eat purple-themed goodies!

Supporters may have heard already that we are developing the 'Cairdeas Faculty' which is made up of Fellows & Associates - people who have been involved in mentoring and training in global palliative care and those who would like to be involved in the future. We are also looking for Ambassadors who can represent Cairdeas at events in the UK and don't necessarily need to have palliative care skills.

We are holding an open meeting for anyone who is interested in contributing to or hearing more about the Cairdeas Faculty on Monday 18th September from 4-6pm in the University of Edinburgh. This is planned to coincide with our Gathering on the Saturday and the Global Palliative Care Day on the Tuesday.

Please click below to register your interest in the Faculty in general and let us know if you can make it to the meeting. The form also contains some questions about your hopes and suggestions for the Cairdeas Faculty, so please do complete the form even if you aren't able to make it to the meeting.

We are pleased to advertise a Global Palliative Care Day which Cairdeas is jointly hosting. This will take place at the University of Edinburgh on Tuesday 19th September. For the first time this year we are coordinating dates with the Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care conference - and with our own Gathering in Kirkintilloch on Sat 16th - so why not make a trip of it and come to Edinburgh!
