Pilton Community Health Project enters 2019 facing closure unless a rescue package can be found.

#SavePCHP: a message from Pilton Community Health Project
Thank you all so much for all the support you’ve offered since news broke that Pilton Community Health Project will be forced to close in March next year as a result of disinvestment from The City of Edinburgh Council and NHS Lothian.
Please sign and widely share our petition to help #SavePCHP!
We believe that the decision taken by the Edinburgh Integration Joint Board to close the project is unfair to people in our community. In our petition, we ask that the City of Edinburgh Council and NHS Lothian secure project funding for one year to enable us to find new ways of sustaining the life-changing work that we do in our community.
