With the ongoing rollout of new Localities community planning structures across the city, the future of Neighbourhood Partnerships has been in some doubt but they are back for now – at least until a suitable replacement can be agreed.

Neighbourhood Partnership meetings are open to the public, so take the opportunity to hear discussions and decisions about Local Community Grant Fund applications, North West Locality Improvement Planning, participate in the popular ‘question time’ session and more.

There are four Neighbourhood Partnerships within the new North West Locality and each of these will meet in August. Dates are:

Forth Neighbourhood Partnership

Tuesday 15 August at Royston Wardieburn Community Centre, 6.30-8.30pm

Inverleith Neighbourhood Partnership

Monday 21 August at Stockbridge Library, 6.30-8.30pm.

Almond Neighbourhood Partnership

Wed 23 August at Rosebery Hall, South Queensferry, 6.30-8.30pm.

Western Neighbourhood Partnership

Thursday 31 August Drumbrae Hub, 6.30-8.30pm.

Full agendas for all meetings will be available here 

A local light for Aleppo

a-light-for-aleppo

At dusk this Sunday, the people of North Edinburgh will light a beacon at The Boardwalk Beachclub, Silverknowes to bring hope to the besieged people of Aleppo.

Communities around Scotland are gathering to light beacons of hope that will travel around the world by social media using the hashtag #alightforaleppo
The idea has struck a chord. More than sixty events have been created in 20 countries, and messages of support have flooded in from across the world.

Revd Dr Harriet Harris, the Chaplain of the University of Edinburgh who started the appeal, said: “Every day, the people of Aleppo have less food, fewer medical supplies, and aid is not getting through. We want them to know they are they are not forgotten: the people of the world are watching.

“Our message is simple: stand beside our fellow human beings and answer the darkness by sending messages of light. Details of all the events are on our web site www.alightforaleppo.org where you can also donate to Oxfam, Caritas and Medicins Sans Frontieres, who are working in the region.”
