## Resource

Joan Parr, former Director of Culture and Wellbeing for Edinburgh Council, is stepping into a new leadership role as Chair-elect of Luminate, Scotland’s pioneering charity empowering older adults through creativity. With a 13-year track record at Creative Scotland—including roles in creative learning and arts engagement—Parr brings deep sector expertise to guide Luminate’s next phase. The organization is launching a more community-driven, locally tailored program, and Parr’s vision will be central to its success, ensuring creativity remains accessible to all seniors, regardless of background. This move marks a powerful new chapter for both Parr and Luminate’s vital mission. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
