THREE MAJOR COMMUNITY EVENTS ACROSS THE NEIGHBOURHOOD TODAY
Does anyone recognise this photo?
PYCP have been contacted by the founder of Football Aid, who shared this brilliant picture taken at Tynecastle Park when Football Aid first launched.
The girl in the photo is believed to be Jodie Anderson from Pilton, who was around 6 years old at the time — so likely to be around 27 now.
They’d love to reconnect with her, so we thought we’d share it here in case someone knows her or she happens to see it herself.
Please feel free to share with family and friends.
FRIDAY 27 & SATURDAY 28th MARCH at NORTH EDINBURGH ARTS
