Craigroyston Community Classes enrolling NOW
Attached is a newsletter created by our adult learners, celebrating some of our community achievements (below)
CRAIGIE COMMUNTY NEWS March 2017 FINAL
It would be great if you could let people know we are currently taking bookings for our classes for the summer term, through www.Joininedinburgh.org or people are welcome to pop in or ring us.
We have lots of really good courses at excellent charges, such as Warm Yoga (which will be not as hot as Hot Yoga but still very beneficial). These are listed on the back of the newsletter.
We have a Sitar class starting in April – the only one in the country and this will offer a unique opportunity to try out something vaguely exotic but quite simple to grasp the basics. Numbers are very limited so first people to enrol will get the places.
And we have Holiday Spanish and Holiday French to help with language whilst away enjoying the sunshine!.
We also have a Craft Fair this Saturday 18th March in the school with trade price paper and glitter and all your crafting needs, between 10am-2pm with excellent bacon rolls and coffee at £1 each.

Choose Youth Work – voting open!
Young people in Edinburgh are being asked to vote on projects to deliver youth work across the city. During February, the Council invited groups to apply for up to £10,000 to spend on youth work activity that will benefit young people between 11-25, either locally based or citywide.
The applications were screened at the beginning of March by a group of young people and Council officers, based on priorities that were decided by young people following a consultation in 2016.
This is the first year of a three year programme, with 60k to allocate this year, rising to over 100k in year 2, and over 500k in year 3.
A total of 16 projects will now face a public vote. It is now up to you to decide which of these projects you would like to see being delivered. If you are aged between 11-21, and live in Edinburgh, you can vote for your three preferred projects.
Voting opened on Friday 10 March and closes at 5pm on Monday 27 March 2017.
The sixteen organisations bidding for funding are:
Broomhouse Centre
Canongate Youth
Community Renewal
Dunedin Canmore
Fabb Scotland
Fet-Lor Youth Centre
Fruitmarket Gallery
Granton Youth Centre
Jack Kane Centre
Move On
North Edinburgh Arts
Polish Family Support Centre
Saheliya
Spartans Community Football Academy
Venture Scotland
The Yard
You can vote:
· Online on this site https://edinburgh.participare.io
· At our Big Vote Party on Friday 24 March, 1.30pm at the Festival Theatre
· In selected community centres – ask your centre for more information
Results will be announced in April and projects will begin from May 2017. This is your chance to decide how money is spent that benefits you.
If you have a Young Scot card, when you vote online you will also receive reward points and these can be redeemed against a range of awards. You can find out more about Young Scot here.
