social-security-event-post-oct-2016-page0001

Hi everyone

Just a wee reminder about the community event we are having in the centre on Wednesday.  The aim of the event is to give people from North Edinburgh an opportunity to take part in the Scottish Government’s consultation process on a new Social Security System for Scotland.

We will be kicking off at 10.00 and finishing at 12.30.   A community lunch will be provided afterwards in the cafe.  To help us with the arrangements for the day, we would appreciate if you could let us know if you are coming and if you require childcare or have any other needs we should be aware of.

Thanks and best wishes

Lynn

Living in Harmony: understanding hate crime

Living in Harmony logo

The next Living in Harmony forum will be on Thursday 13th October, 10-12 at Pilton Community Health Project. There will be crèche available if booked in advance.

The theme of the session will be on understanding hate crime and we will have input from the police and from another project working with young people on hate crime in North Edinburgh. There will be an opportunity to explore what hate crime is, discuss how to raise awareness about it among our communities, and also to sign up your organisation to become a third party reporting centre.

It would be helpful if you could RSVP so that we have an idea of numbers.

Kind regards
