New Year, new community crèche for North Edinburgh?  Local organisation Stepping Stones has held discussions with Community Learning and Development staff at Royston Wardieburn Community Centre to explore the possibility of setting up a new community crèche when the new Centre opens next year.

Stepping Stones’ Marilyn Keilloh explained:  “The ‘new’ Royston Wardieburn Community Centre will be opening to the public in the New Year.  Lydia Markham (Community Learning and Development) and I have had a very brief meeting about the possibility of developing a community crèche facility in the Centre.  We have arranged a meeting for Thursday 12 January from 1 – 3pm in the new centre and would like to invite anyone who is interested in developing a facility like this in the area to come along”.

For further information call Marilyn at Stepping Stones North Edinburgh on 551 1632 or Lydia at Royston Wardieburn Community Centre on 552 5700.

Families, cyclists and craft enthusiasts braved the chilly weather and had a lovely time with The Bike Station and ELGT at Sunday’s Innertube Christmas Fun Day. We heard wonderful stories from Macastory and adults and children had a great time scavenging for natural woodland materials such as holly and ivy, to make festive wreaths to hang on the door. These are some of the best examples!
