Bagpipes, pop legends and feather boas – Alan, Cathy and Hope visit this year’s Fringe Festival!
Hope, Alan and Cathy enjoyed exciting days out at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Supported by Support Practitioner Kevin, each experienced a day in the capital that suited their personalities and interests.
Of the days out, Kevin said: “I absolutely love organizing fun days for the people I support and strive to make their lives as fulfilling as possible. I tailor activities to suit their individual personalities. Hope is a music lover, and she was thrilled to see the Lady Boys perform. Alan, on the other hand, is a big fan of Scottish music and bagpipes, so the Edinburgh Tattoo was a natural choice, even though it was a bit of a challenge pushing a wheelchair up the Royal Mile on a busy festival evening. But we made it and had a fantastic time! Cathy can be a bit challenging to plan activities for; she’s usually content with a scone and a cup of tea. However, I thought the music of Carol King might resonate with her, and I was right! She sat there throughout the performance with a smile, tapping her hand on the table. Having lived in Edinburgh for 15 years, I thoroughly enjoy guiding the people I support as they explore the city!”
