Summer playscheme – then some more!

Preparations are well underway for an absolutely HUGE summer programme for children in Muirhouse (writes JAMES McGINTY).  

Summer Play Scheme Walk

Friday 26 June, leaves from the Centre to Cramond at 1pm

Parents and Walkers can obtain a sponsorship form from the Reception desk at the Centre from Eileen or Peter Airlie (Manager).  Others who do not or cannot walk but wish to donate to the summer playscheme can do so through Eileen or Peter at the Centre.

We would like to thank Helen Fisher on behalf of the Old Kirk & Muirhouse Parish Church for their generous donation towards the Scheme.  The children themselves have been raising money throughout the year by Bag-packing and various other activities.

Prior to the charity walk and the summer play scheme (starts Tuesday 3 July), The Boys Club + jass Groups go on a Residential to Ratho (Mon 29 June – Wed 1 July) on their return the Girls Club + Jass Groups go to Ratho from Wednesday 1 to Friday 3 July.

This is a truly exciting period for the children with a wholesome and varied programme planned for them over the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for three weeks.As if doing one residential and running the Play Scheme at the same time would be enough, we are not going to stop there: one of the biggest Residentials we have ever planned will be to take more than 30 children aged 5 years to 12 years away for an experience of their young lives – to Towford Bothy in the Scottish borders for a week of activities delivered by MY Adventure!
