We’re moving in: help us make The Heart a home
Help us create a vibrant, welcoming, inclusive centre at the Heart of Newhaven, Edinburgh. We have the funds to buy the site, and the City of Edinburgh Council has agreed to sell it to us, and we will have the keys soon but we need your help to make the vision a reality.
The former Victoria Primary School site IS going to be the Heart of Newhaven Community. The Heart of Newhaven (HoN) will be a brand new intergenerational centre for the whole community to enjoy. The Scottish Land Fund (SLF) has awarded us £792,000 and we were given permission to purchase the site. Victoria Primary School has moved to a new building on a different site and we will be taking over the building SOON.
We will have the building soon but now we need YOUR help to refurbish, furnish and heat it and get it properly up and running, while we build sustainable fundraising and other income.
There is more information about how you can donate here:

We are also looking for volunteers for people to help clear up so we can get ready to turn The Heart into a community hub.
If you can help with the crowdfunder, clearing up the site or would like to get involved in other ways, there is information on the website:
We need your support. Thank you for any help you can provide!
Best wishes,
