The Big Diversity Picnic

The Scottish Borders is an increasingly diverse community and once again a packed programme of events for Diversity Week has been developed thanks to a range of partners. The ‘Be Kind’ theme means that every effort has been made to ensure there is something for everyone this year, from writing for wellbeing through to an intergenerational quiz, a kindness and self-care wellbeing session, mixed gender walking football, a curry & chaat evening and so much more. I hope as many people as possible enjoy not only what is happening in their own communities but are inspired to travel to other locations in the Borders if they would like to try a new interest or maybe make some new friends. All in all this promises to be an occasion to remember, with the Big Picnic a wonderful way to end the week in the spirt of bringing our communities and residents together and showing just how kind and supportive to each other the people of the Borders can be.”
