Scotland’s senior community health project still forging ahead
The oldest community health project in Scotland, Pilton Community Health Project has played a key role in promoting healthy lifestyles in North Edinburgh for thirty years. And if their recent annual general meeting is anything to go by, PCHP will be at the forefront of community health initiatives for a long time to come!
Annual general meetings can often be fairly dull affairs, but Pilton Community Health Project used their AGM to showcase the many elements that go into making a very successful community project.
Yes, there was the tedious but necessary business, but then the packed meeting was treated to the highlights of the past twelve months, courtesy of PCHP staff who gave presentations on the wide range of activities that are taking place at the Health Project’s Boswall Parkway base and, increasingly, out in the wider community.
Food development workers Memes Molina and Joe Jones kicked of the presentations with the launch of a new educational toolkit, then Women Supporting Women development worker Alison Hughes gave an overview of the PEEP programme.
Lianne Pipskyj and Clare Symonds shared the news of the Physical Activity Project’s ongoing success and Carol Targett, who leads PCHP’s counselling team, focused her contribution on the team’s work with young people in North Edinburgh.
As you can imagine there was a lot of information to take in – but fortunately you don’t have to! The morning’s other presentation saw PCHP manager Jen Richards launch PCHP’s bright new website, which contains all the information you need on everything that’s happening at PCHP!
