John McNab ‘Not In Vain’ campaign

LIFT is proud to be supporting John’s Mum in spearheading her mission to ensure as many public spaces as possible have access to “Bleed Kits” in John’s name. We will be raising funds to purchase as many kits as possible to ensure lives can be saved.

If you want to donate please see information on the poster, BUT correct bank details are:

Sort Code: 80 11 05

Muirhouse Millennium Centre

Lisa and the LIFT staff will be undertaking training to use the kits correctly and we will supply a flyer explaining exactly what to do if you ever find yourself using one-off John’s Bleed Kits.

Can you help? LIFT looking for stuff!

We’re on the lookout for some bits and pieces that could be reused at the centre 👇

⭕️ Large cardboard tubes (like the ones from inside carpets or lino, even bigger is great!)

⭕️ Any black material, curtains, bedding, fabric you no longer need

⭕️ Old pool noodles or foam tubes

⭕️ Wooden pallets, large bits of wood, or strong plastic piping

⭕️ Lots of old newspapers 📰

💡 Please don’t go out your way to buy anything – second-hand or spare items are perfect and very much appreciated!

📞 To arrange drop-off, give us a call on 0131 467 3578.

Thank you so much for your support! 😊💛

Muirhouse Millennium Centre: We Want Your Ideas!

💬 We Want Your Ideas! 💡

We’re planning ahead and want to know. What would YOU like to see happening at the centre?

Whether it’s kids’ activities or adult only sessions, now’s your chance to help shape what we offer.

🎤 Karaoke night?

🧘‍♀️ Mindfulness or fitness sessions?

🎨 Art for adults?

🎮 Gaming clubs for kids?

🍿 Movie nights, pamper days, anything fun?

Nothing is too silly to suggest if you’d come along to it, let us know!

We’re using our resources carefully and want to put on things you actually want so if you don’t speak up, we’ll just go with what we think sounds fun 😜 (and then you’re not allowed to moan if we plan karaoke every week 😆)

Pop your ideas below or message us privately we’re all ears!

Let’s build a space that works for everyone. 💛
