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.
This friendly group are always welcoming new members. If you would like to join contact WHALE for more information or e-mail us

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.
