Julie Ann Fooshee, University of Edinburgh Sport & Exercise staff, and Equestrian Club, member, has been awarded the 2024 Edinburgh University Student Association Outstanding Contribution to Community Wellbeing Award for the "Cards for Care Homes" project. The project aims to bring some cheer to the local Edinburgh community and to help brighten the day of care home residents, and especially those who might be isolated or lonely during the festive season.

This award recognises the amazing positive impact the project had on facility residents and staff, as well as the community of students who came together to write the cards. I'm so proud of my Equestrian Club mates and all the sports teams and students who have helped bring some love to Edinburgh residents Julie Ann Fooshee Related information Cards for Care Homes 2024 news story Edinburgh University Students Association (external site) This article was published on 2024-05-13
