Date of 2021 Lunch is 20 Aug 21 Happy New Year! This year’s lunch has been postponed from April until 20th August 2021. After much consideration we decided that our regular lunch in April was not feasible and although it’s difficult to know how 2021 will pan out we’re hoping that by Aug we can […]

It is with regret that the committee has agreed to postpone the 63rd Women of Scotland Lunch which was to be held on 24th April due to Coronavirus concerns. It is our intention to hold the lunch on 23rd April 2021 – please put that date in your diary. We will be supporting the same worthwhile charity, Bowel Cancer UK, with the usual excellent line up of speakers and our superb prize draw. Regrettably Bowel Cancer UK will lose out this year however if you would like to make a donation our Just Giving page will remain open. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/women-of-scotland-lunch-2020

Our 62nd lunch was a huge success raising over £25,000 for Mental Health Foundation Scotland with 430 attendees. This will provide much needed funds for a new project to start work with adolescent mothers living in Scotland. This is one area that is under resourced but remains a serious gap in both policy and service provision in Scotland. The prestigious line-up of speakers entertained the guests expertly with anecdotes and moving sentiments. Thanks to all who came and supported it and to all our generous sponsors.
