Looking forward to seeing you at next weeks’ NEPAF meeting where the theme will be ‘How can we improve access to open spaces in North Edinburgh?’ Response to this months’ forum meeting has been really positive; here is the agenda so far: 

  • Presentation, sharing good practice- ‘Friends of Dalmeny Park’- Tom Hoon/Out of the Blue
  • West Pilton Park- Lianne Pipskyj/Clare Symonds PCHP
  • Community Growing- Kate Wimpress/NEAC
  • Informal/structured play on local green/brown sites- Kate Wimpress/NEAC
  • Forth Neighbourhood Partnership Community plan (physical activity priority)- Jim Pattison/FNP
  • Edinburgh Physical Activity and Sports Strategy- Active Lives- Sean Webster/ECC

The meeting takes place on Wednesday 10 December from 2 – 4pm

at Pilton Community Health Project, Boswall Parkway

It looks like it’s going to be a good one, can’t wait! It would be very helpful if we have an idea on numbers so if you could confirm attendance and add any agenda items by this Friday ( 5 December) that would be great!

Date set for Active Lives Forum

As some of you know we are planning to develop an Active Lives Forum.

The forum will enable better link working between  organisations in the local area, help us to avoid duplication and enable us to  support each other in terms of developing physical activity in Greater  Pilton.

The first meeting is due to take place on

Wednesday 19 June 2-4pm at Pilton Community  Health Project

It would be great to see you or someone from your  organisation there. The aim of the first meeting is to explore what people think  the forum should look like, identify its primary aims/objectives and to start  the process of building relationships.

Some local people who took part in our project review would  also like to take the opportunity to present the findings; these include some  very novel and interesting ideas!

Please get back to us by Tuesday 18 June to  confirm your attendance at the meeting if possible and please circulate to  anyone else you think might have an interest or would benefit from being  involved in the forum.
