Summer activities made simple by Total Craigroyston

So many summer programmes, so little time! Total Craigroyston has made finding something to do over the summer holidays more simple. Read on …

A number of the youth and children’s as well as Community Learning and Development run extensive programmes during the summer holidays.

We’ve collated these activities into one place and created a timetable of all the opportunities available. Over the 6 weeks there are just under 400 opportunities for school-aged children and young people. A good number of these are free or very low cost.

To find out more information about any of these activities take a look at Join in Edinburgh (www.joininedinburgh.org) – just enter the name of the activity in the search box.

Please print this and distribute freely. If you have any corrections/additions then please contact info@totalcraigroyston.co.uk.
