Final Christmas dinner made by Isa after 35 years

|December 29, 2025
For nearly four decades Isa Conlin has organised a Christmas dinner for the elderly community in Rosewell and Bonnyrigg, bringing together hundreds of residents each year.
The origins of the annual Christmas dinner go back to the 1980s, when Isa was a 'home helper' at St Matthews Church in Rosewell making teas and coffees at funeral receptions.
Isa later started catering for events at the local miner's club when one day she was asked if she would help organise a Christmas dinner for elderly residents. And now the annual event in St Matthews Church hall is a calendar highlight for the village.
