Useful information
Kindness Midlothian website: The Kindness Midlothian website provides a central point that Midlothian residents can visit to request support through the COVID-19 emergency. The website also offers other information for volunteers and residents, including local and national guidance and advice. The website is secure and has multi language support as well as embedded government video information which includes the BSL Coronavirus helpline. The website developers said “Our aim was to design an effective, responsive and easy to navigate website that provided a central point Midlothian residents could visit to request short term help through this emergency, irrespective of where in Midlothian they stay, and to provide visitors with the tools to easily request help when needed. Hopefully we have achieved this. We also incorporated other elements such as local and national information and volunteer forms, but the site is really designed for those in need of help and support”. www.kindnessmidlothian.co.uk

St. Nicholas Buccleuch Parish Church is a congregation of the Church of Scotland. It is part of the Presbytery of Lothian. The Church of Scotland traces its history from St Ninian, who came to Scotland in 397 AD, through the Scottish Reformation, led by John Knox among others, to the present. It is Presbyterian in government.
There has been a place of Christian worship on this site since at least the 11th Century. The present building, which has undergone many changes, dates from the early 15th Century. This year, 2020, we celebrate the 600th anniversary of our church.
St. Nicholas Buccleuch Parish Church is an ancient church with a modern purpose. Set in the heart of Dalkeith, the congregation seeks to serve God and this community in ways relevant to the 21st Century.
You don’t need to sign up to a long list of beliefs to come to church. You don’t need to know all the answers to belong. All you need is a sense of the spiritual dimension of life and a desire to experience it more fully.
All are welcome.
