We are extremely grateful for a big box of fantastic fabrics which will be used as part of the quilting project being launched by our Women’s Group on the 24th of September.
It was donated by the good people at John Lewis in Glasgow and will really get the project off to a flying start.
If you’d like to join us at the Scottish Quilt Championships and for afternoon tea then please register today.
In the run up to our AGM this Saturday we wanted to publish the final report of the Needs Assessment we conducted in partnership with the Scottish Inherited Bleeding Disorders Network.

We are grateful to Baxalta (a Shire company) for the unrestricted grant which made the Scottish Needs Assessment possible.
We are closing the needs assessment survey on Thursday morning (1st December). We’ve had a really good response so far but the more people who take part the more useful our results will be. We are running the needs assessment in partnership with the Scottish Inherited Bleeding Disorders Network so the results will influence the services we offer but also the services of the Scottish Haemophilia Centres.
There are some parts of Scotland that are a little under-represented at the moment. We are keen that the results reflect everyone in Scotland. So if you are reading this in Argyll & Bute, Dumfries & Galloway, East Renfrewshire, Orkney, Stirling, or The Western Isles please make a particular effort to take part.
If you do take part then you might also win one of three FitBits that we are giving away. They would make a great early Christmas present for yourself or could let you cross at least one name of that Christmas shopping list!
We are delighted to announce that our AGM and Gathering will be held at the beautiful Hilton Dunblane Hydro on 19th & 20th March 2016.
