Local Voluntary Sector Forum to meet on Tuesday

Forth and Inverleith Voluntary Sector Forum will meet on Tuesday (9 April) at 10am in North Edinburgh Arts.

Edinburgh Community Health Partnership’s Steven Whitton will deliver a presentation on the proposed North West Edinburgh Partnership Hub and Jen Richards from Pilton Community Health Project will give information about hosting Trussel Trust’s North Edinburgh Food Bank.

A reminder also that places are still available for the EVOC Thinkspace event ‘A Right State?’ on Thursday 18 April. ‘A Right State?’ is an opportunity for the voluntary sector to discuss welfare reform.

The event, which is being held at the Calton Centre on Montgomery Street from 9:30am to 1.00pm, will be built around small group discussions, with contributions from a range of ‘informed voices’ including Adrian Sinfield (Professor Emeritus of Social Policy, University of Edinburgh), SCVO’s Lynn Williams, Alan Sinclair of the City of Edinburgh Council, Linda Savage (Job Centre Plus) and Inclusion Scotland’s Bill Scott.

To register for this important event email dianne.morrison@evoc.org.uk  by Friday 12 April.

Centipede Big Bash is next Friday

MuirhouseCentipedeFollowing much deliberation, the Muirhouse Centipede Project’s Big Bash has been rescheduled and will now take place on Friday 12 April from 2-3.30pm.

The original Easter event was postponed due to awful weather forecasts, so Friday’s Big Bash offers the Muirhouse community an opportunity to see the fruits of their labour at last – just how have those bulbs that were planted last winter turned out?

So come along, everyone’s welcome  – as well as a super Spring display, enjoy marvellous planting, free BBQ, hot drinks, Easter Egg Rolling (better late than never!) and more children’s activities – and it’s all free!
