Amy and Sara are running the Edinburgh Half Marathon next month and Ryan is doing the full 26.2 miles.
They are running this for FetLor.
Everything they raise will go towards our Summer Programme. Last year we put on a 5 week programme that included 24 trips to lots of different activities including Fox Lake, Bridge 8 and North Berwick.
All our trips are free and can only happen thanks to the support of people like Ryan, Sara and Amy. If you can, please sponsor them.

Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre faces closure this summer unless £70,000 can to found to meet essential running costs.
Drylaw Community Association chair Alex Dale told a meeting of Drylaw Telford Community Council that please for council support have fallen on deaf ears and that the Centre is gearing up for another ‘Save DNC’ campaign – the second in four years.
With restricted opening and restrictions imposed during the Covid-19 pandemic, membership has fallen and efforts to re-engage with the local community were thwarted by lockdown.
The Centre continues to operate a number of groups and activities but these will be put in jeopardy if core funding for running costs cannot be found. The deadline is seriously tight – Alex said Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre will close in June or July if no financial support is forthcoming.
Drylaw Telford Community Council, who recently resumed their monthly meetings in the Neighbourhood Centre, agreed to submit a letter of support at last night’s meeting.
Two years to the day Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the UK’s first lockdown, Drylaw Telford Community Council meets in person again tonight.
February’s community council trialled face-to-face meetings and, with restrictions being lifted, it was agreed that Drylaw Telford will continue to meet in public.
Tonight’s meeting, at Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre, starts at 7pm.
While much has changed in the last two years – whoever heard of Zoom pre-Covid? – some issues remain the same:
The Chief Constable’s Bravery and Excellence Awards 2021 took place yesterday (25 February 2022) and local police officer Constable Joy Millican has been awarded Probationary Constable of the Year.
Joy has been a member of Team 3 Drylaw Response since August 2020 after excelling during her probationer training at the Scottish Police College, which led to her receiving awards for her academic achievements and officer safety skills.
Her pride in her performance is exhibited in her daily approach and enthusiasm for her role. Her professionalism impresses not only her colleagues and supervisors but also the public and professional partners. She has received feedback acknowledging her sensitivity and compassion when dealing with incidents of a delicate nature.
Joy volunteered to attend an “Anatomy of Giving Evidence” course to enhance her skills in this area and produced guidance documents for her peers to help them gain knowledge and confidence in relation to court proceedings.
Chief Inspector Sarah Taylor, Local Area Commander for the North West of Edinburgh, said: “I’m absolutely delighted for Joy and this award is well deserved.
“Joy is a credit to Police Scotland and I’d like to congratulate her on being awarded Probationary Constable of the Year. She is performing at a standard far beyond what is expected of her at this level of her service and she is a valued member of the team who offers guidance and support to colleagues of all experience and service.”
Following an increase in antisocial behaviour in the Ferry Road and Telford areas, Operation PAX was instigated – deploying dedicated teams of police officers at key times focussing on engagement, deterrence, disruption and where necessary enforcement.
As a result of recent investigations and working closely with partner agencies at #StrongerNorth an 18-year-old man has been charged with 22 offences and a 15-year-old boy charged with 25 offences relating to antisocial behaviour in the local area.
Police ask that parents and carers speak with their children and young people about the impact of antisocial behaviour to ensure our local community continues to be a safe place to live and work.
Support from members of the public is also vital in helping Police quickly identify those engaging in this behaviour they urge anyone who witnesses an incident to contact them immediately.
Anyone with information regarding antisocial behaviour in their area can contact Police Scotland through 101, the website scotland.police.uk/contact-us or the charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
