It’s been a busy old week at Muirhouse Millennium Centre – and it’s only Thursday!
For ages we have been crying out for a defibrillator to safeguard the lives of many vulnerable users of Muirhouse Community Centre (writes James McGinty). On Tuesday morning Sonia McGraw (Jamie Skinner Project) donated exactly that!
The volunteers of this centre have already been trained in the use of the defibrillator by the St Andrew’s team. Sonia, a huge thank you from all of us at the Centre, especially those who may unfortunately need it in the future.
Health & Sport Committee Members visit Milllennium Centre
Tuesday saw people from many backgrounds attend a consultation to inform the Scottish Government the barriers and difficulties they face in attending sporting activities. This meeting was organised by Paul Anderson (Manager of the Scottish Government Outreach Project.) Four M.S.P’s attended and the four Health & Sport committee members were allocated a table each to listen to every group as they filled in a form stating their difficulties. A total of 21 people participated.
Neil Findlay MSP started the proceedings with a short speech followed by a presentation slideshow concerning the responsibilities of the Health & Sport committee. Discussion began around the tables with remarks from all written on a full table length sheet.
