ELREC are very delighted to announce the next big chapter on our “Open Arms” project journey which has been fuelled by an award from The National Lottery Community Fund, made possible by National Lottery players.
This generous funding will be used to provide life-improving services and activities including fitness classes, arts and crafts workshops and socialising events to women from minority ethnic and migrant backgrounds in Edinburgh and Lothians.
With the amazing support of the National Lottery Community Fund ELREC can help women improve their physical and mental health which has deteriorated because of loneliness and isolation. We are thrilled to have this support and to be able to transform people’s lives for the better.
ELREC is pleased to announce our new small project, The Creative Kitchen, thanks to the cost of living part of The Lottery Community Fund. And in partnership with Cyrenians who give us fresh ingredients.
The project aims to deliver free weekly workshops on sustainable cooking, making simple yet nutritious and fresh meals from whatever you have left in the fridge.
The sessions will be delivered in different locations, with the first one held at Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre, by our staff member and chef, Shana.

The sessions are free, to sign up please email: bolyn@elrec.org.uk
