To mark #ToAbsentFriends Week we worked with @strathcarron1 to create a school fundraising event that captured the whole community to raise funds for the hospice & local Snowdrop Cafe! Thank you to everyone who sponsored our learners! #TeamFallin ๐๐๐ #itallbeginsinFallin
@FallinPrimary pupils painted stones in memory of loved ones and today took part in a sponsored walk in the village in aid of the Hospice and the local Snowdrop Cafรฉ.
They laid their stones in a cairn as a community to mark #ToAbsentFriends week and had a moment of reflection.

Is there a song that reminds you of special times with someone who has died?
Each year, as part of the #ToAbsentFriends festival, we gather these songs into a remembrance playlist.
You can add a song, or listen to the songs of others, here: toabsentfriends.org.uk/conteโฆ

We were pleased to be able to fund this lovely event through one of our #ToAbsentFriends small grants. Fantastic work by the @DanceBase community.
An uplifting launch of 'Dancing on' - an exhibition celebrating @DanceBase's work with older dancers - looking forwards as well as remembering absent friends. #ToAbsentFriends

A Wall of Remembrance gives community members a place to share tributes to people who have died. It's easy to set up and means a lot. You can also share a tribute at the #ToAbsentFriends online Wall of Remembrance:
