This week, The Community Collective launches their main project, ‘The Living Room’ located within what formerly was the cafe space at Stonehaven Community Centre; from 1st November, it will be open every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 10 am-2 pm. The project has been backed by Aberdeenshire Council’s Tackling Poverty & Inequalities Group Innovation Funding.

The latest “Mearns Voices” podcast from local writing group “Mearns Writers” is now available online, just in time for Hallowe’en. The podcast brings a selection of work from the Aberdeenshire-based writing group. The new episode features a Doric ghost story written and performed by Alistair Lawrie. “The Wind” is a sinister tale of a young man returning to an East Coast fishing town during an ungodly storm. Not unlike Stonehaven during Storm Babet, perhaps?
