News from Muirhouse Millennium Centre

The preparation for the summer playscheme is extensive and we were thankful for the offer from the Scottish Gas Board offer of 2 teams of volunteers to give us a hand (writes James McGinty).   The 1st team cleaned and prepared  the youth annexe (Pictured ) whilst the 2nd team prepared the large storage in the Main Hall.

We would like to add our thanks and congratulations to both TRIM (Tenants and Residents in Muirhouse) and Friends of West Pilton who were declared Tenants Group of the Year at the Tenant Information Service National Excellence awards in Glasgow last week. The partnership deserve all the acclaim and support from the locals and they so richly deserve for working on our behalf.
