Local mums say: it’s All About Me!

Hi

We have been attending the ‘All About Me‘ group on a Monday morning. We have been taking part in various training and upskilling courses and improving our health and wellbeing. Unfortunately, due to our funding ending in September, the group will no longer run.

We decided to make a film about how difficult it is to gain employment when you are a lone parent: lack of suitable jobs, lack of childcare, housing issues, to name a few!

We would love if you could join us for a viewing of our film and to see some of the work we have been doing over the last few years.

Look forward to seeing you on the 5th June.

We would like to invite you to our event ‘Can you see?’

This event is being planned and presented by our young parents. They will be launching a film they have made to combat the stigma around being a Young Parent and sharing their experience. This is a chance for them to have their voices heard on a topic that has a massive effect on them. 

The event will be held on Wednesday 7th December at North Edinburgh Arts, 15a Pennywell Court. 

1pm – 1.30 pm – presentation and film launch

1.30pm – 2.30pm – a more informal chance to speak to the young parents, network and find out more about the services provided by Stepping Stones. Refreshments and nibbles will be provided.

If you can make it along to either the presentation and film launch, and/or for a chat and a bite to eat afterwards , the young parents would appreciate your support!
