TODAY: Granton Goes Greener School Swap Shop

On the 2nd August Swap Shop will be open between 10am – 6pm and we will be concentrating on getting all the children ready for school.

Bring any school shoes, bags and uniforms, which you do not need, but someone else could still use.

Tea/ coffee, biscuits and soup provided. It is a FREE event, no booking required.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO SWAP ANYTHING, just come and collect any free school uniforms you need. We are very grateful to all our volunteers for their hard work – and Balerno High School and Granton Primary for their generous donations!

Easter Drylaw Park

Hi Everyone, 

We would like to invite everyone to a family fun event where we will unveil the story boards and hear some local people share their stories; there will also be free food and activities for children and adults to enjoy. 
The storyboards feature stories, images and information that celebrate the area. They will be placed along the cycle path between Ainslie Park and Easter Drylaw Park.
The event will take place on Drylaw Park on Friday 9th August, 1-3pm. 
Best Wishes
