North Edinburgh’s BME Transition Group has organised another information event – and this time the focus is on capacity building.

Group coordinator Adil Ibrahim said: “The purpose of this event is to support North Edinburgh-based black and minority ethnic (BME) community groups to access information about funding, setting up and developing local community groups. It should be another exciting event and we’re looking forward to meeting a lot of participants.”

The Transition Group’s Capacity Building Event will be held on Thursday 13 December from 11am – 2pm in the Heritage Lottery Fund, 38 Thistle Street.

To register or for further information please contact Adil or Deborah, email adilabuelseed@hotmail.com or dclark@elrec.org.uk
