This week the group went on an overnight trip to Edinburgh as part of the Relationship Realities project. The trip included a visit to Edinburgh Castle to learn more about Mary Queen of Scots and the relationship she had with her cousin Queen Elizabeth I and a bus tour of the city.

Pulling Together would like to thank Charlie for driving us to Scotland and bringing us home safely. The staff at Cowgate Hostel and Paul the driver of the Red tour bus and all the extra information he gave us especially about Harry Potter, this was enjoyed by us all.

This week at Pulling Together the group took part in an event for Interfaith week at Limelight Centre. and was a huge success. There was plenty of dialogue with lots of faiths looking at our similarities rather than the differences.Thank you to InkindDirect and The People’s Postcode Lottery for the funding to enable us to distribute a wide range of free goods to vulnerable people including Syrian women and children and people in local hostels.

This week at Pulling Together the young women spoke about their relationships with the mother figures in their lives. They all decided that the women in their lives were often the most influential people that they had met and together they wrote and recorded a tribute to all their mothers.

Pulling Together would also like to thank Ross Bugden for allowing us to use his copyright free music in our most recent projects.

The last few weeks at Pulling Together we have been planning, writing and making puppets for our puppet show based on Baghban- This is a Bollywood film that all the members had seen and remembered about how it was all about relationships and felt that it would be perfect for our Relationship Realities project.
