Chattering Chapters

A Book Group for parents and their friends. Read a book together and come to WHALE once a month to chat about it. Books, crèche and cups of tea provided. Recent books have included The Kite Runner and The Lost World. See courses for this term's dates.  

Reel Lives
Reel Lives is a free film club which meets every month at WHALE. Together, we choose great films that you wouldn't normally see at the Odeon. We show drama and documentaries about real life in different countries around the world - from Scotland to South America. Each film is followed by a discussion about the issues raised and how they relate to our lives. With free popcorn!   See courses for dates and events for the latest film news.

The Arty Party

The Arty Party are a group of West  Edinburgh residents, aged 50+ who meet up regularly to attend cultural events around Edinburgh. In the past, the group have attended theatre, musical theatre, ballet, opera and variety performances as well as visiting art galleries and other cultural venues. There is an emphasis on learning, encouraging members to try new things and learn more about the arts.

Group members are collected and dropped off near  their homes by minibus. Many events are free of charge, or a much reduced ticket rate is charged. Members pay a small amount (up to £5) for transport.  Trips are organised around once a month

The group are separately constituted from WHALE and have regular planning meetings. They are supported by members of WHALE's staff team to apply for funding and organise trips.

Fab Pad 

Fab Pad is a unique youth housing project, delivered by Impact Arts.  It offers the young people in social housing the chance to work with an interior designer to get the ideas and learn the skills to turn their new flat or house into their home. The end result is a home they have created themselves and Impact Arts believes this one significant factor may mean the difference between maintaining and abandoning a tenancy. 

For more information contact Impact Arts - Fab Pad.
