A Heartfelt Thank You from Leith Festival
The results are in for £eith Chooses 2024/25, and while we’re disappointed not to have secured funding this time, we are incredibly grateful for the support we received. A huge thank you to £eith Chooses, to everyone who voted for us, and to the fantastic Leith community for engaging in this important process.
We’d like to extend our congratulations to all the successful groups who will now be able to bring their projects to life:
Leith Runs Together
Leith Community Growers
Edinburgh and Lothians Regional Equality Council (ELREC)
Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain
Hibernian Community Foundation
Nepal Scotland Association
Broughton Primary School Parent Council (partial award)
Your work makes a real difference in Leith, and we can’t wait to see the positive impact you’ll create!
Although we missed out on funding this time, we’re still passionate about launching our Youth Advisory Board, which aims to give young people a real voice in shaping Leith Festival’s activities.
We want to empower the next generation, helping them build confidence, skills, and connections through creativity and community.
What’s Next for Our Project?
We’re determined to make this vision a reality, and we’d love your help! Here’s how we plan to move forward:
Seek Alternative Funding – We’ll explore other grant opportunities, sponsorships, and partnerships to support the project. If you know of any funding sources or potential sponsors, we’d love to hear from you!
Volunteer & Collaborate – If you’re passionate about youth engagement and want to get involved, let’s talk! We welcome ideas, partnerships, and support from individuals and local businesses.
Keep the Conversation Going – We still believe in this project and will continue advocating for young people in Leith. If you have ideas or connections that could help, let’s work together!
