Letter: LIFT Easter Appeal

Dear Editor,

We’re reaching out with a feel good community story we hope you’ll help us share:

At LIFT – Low Income Families Together, based at Muirhouse Millennium Centre, we are preparing for our Easter celebration taking place on Friday 3rd April, and we need the support of our amazing local businesses and community.

Every year, we support families across Edinburgh who are facing incredibly tough circumstances. For many of the children attending our Easter event, an Easter egg isn’t just chocolate, it’s a moment of joy, a sense of belonging, and a reminder that their community cares.

This year, we are inviting local businesses to be part of something truly special by donating:

Easter eggs
Easter-themed gifts or treats
Vouchers or small prizes for our event
Baking or party food
Monetary donations to help us purchase eggs and supplies

Our Easter event on 3rd April will bring families together for a day filled with fun, smiles, and celebration — and with the right support, we can ensure every child leaves with something special.

We would be so grateful if you could help us spread the word and encourage local businesses to step forward. We are also happy to acknowledge and publicly thank businesses who support the event.

Donations can be dropped off at:

With love and gratitude,

Pam

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:

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 )
