Living in Harmony: understanding hate crime
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

New day, new time, new venue for Chat Cafe
Mondays, 12 – 2pm at Royston Wardieburn Community Centre
Hi folks,
Just to say the Chat Café is up and running again and looking for new people to get involved. It’s for people new to the area, who may be learning English and for longer term residents too who want a chance to get out of the house, meet new people and help new folk settle in. It’s a simple way to get people out of the house to make new friends and support each other.
There is a free creche, so it’s especially useful for young parents who can be very isolated, especially if they are recent arrivals and don’t have family support around them. We talk, share a meal, go on trips, share information etc. All very relaxed and informal.
