The Grand Re-Launch

In 1986, Carol Morton, wife of Colin Morton, the then minister of Prestongrange Parish Church, set up The Small World in a room in the former Council wages office in Prestonpans.

These days, Carol is kept busy at Palcrafts/Hadeel (an Edinburgh-based organisation selling crafts from community-based groups in the West Bank, Gaza and Lebanon).  We were delighted she was able to return to the shop yesterday to celebrate it's grand re-launch at a select gathering which included Iain Gray MSP, former volunteers and representatives of local organisations.  



The shop received its first makeover in over 20 years thanks to donations from Prestonpans Community Council, B&Q and an anonymous donor.   


Whether you are a regular customer, infrequent visitor or have never been before, we warmly welcome you to join us for some fair trade refreshments (and facepainting!) at our Open Day this Saturday, 11th September from 10 until 3.
