COMMUNITY CONFERENCE

Saturday 13 February 

Craigroyston Community High Schoolcomm conferenceNorth Edinburgh is facing tough times. Services are being cut, good jobs are hard to come by and some of our projects are struggling to survive.

But maybe it’s not all doom and gloom. Our community has some great resources, and chief among these is our people: the activists and the volunteers, young and old.

This important conference will discuss what our community needs – and work out how, together, we can get where we want to be.

We believe the people who know best are the people who live here. North Edinburgh needs YOUR ideas – come along and help us to map out a positive future for our community.
