Two Years of VIP Voices and a fantastic new booklet!

on Wed 11 Feb 2026

Today is the first meeting of the year of our VIP Voices committee, and marks two years since this group began coming together to amplify the voices of older people within Edinburgh and to lead in the work of Vintage Vibes.

Today also marks the launch the first edition of our ‘Other Super Useful Things To Know’ Booklet, an idea developed in one of the VIP Voices committee sessions. The aim was to create a valuable, accessible, large font resource to help any older member of the Vintage Vibes community to find answers to the most common questions we receive which fit outside of the work of Vintage Vibes.

This concept will develop as informed by our community, but the first edition (which will be posted to every community member at the end of the month), features…

💛 Dial a Bus

💛 Care and Repair Edinburgh

💛 ACE IT Scotland

💛 Edinburgh City Libraries

💛 LifeCare Edinburgh

💛 Food Train

💛 The City of Edinburgh Council

💛 Citizens Advice Scotland

💛 Volunteer Edinburgh

💛 UK Cinema Association

…as well as helpful information about Pension Age Disability Payments, what to do in a power cut and more!

We are so grateful to the VIP Voices Committee for their encouragement in developing and designing this resource, and to our wonderful volunteers who have contributed to its contents. 👏
