Food for Thought at Millennium Centre

Earlier this week Muirhouse Millennium Community Centre played host to a Food for Thought Forum for the community led by Pilton Health Project, with Memes Molina (Food Development Worker at PCHP, above) leading the proceedings by explaining the previous forums: what they had discussed and what had been gained from the experiences (writes James McGinty)

Anita Aggarwa(PCHP Community Development Manager) then laid out the processes of the day.

A very well attended audience were treated to home made soup and some superbly healthy sandwiches, tea and coffee provided by centre volunteers and our manager Peter Airlie.

Over the years many donations have been received by Muirhouse Millennium Centre from members of our community(writes JAMES McGINTY).  The kindness still exists, and the latest donation (from someone who would like to remain anonymous) was a baby buggy in new condition.  Nieve & Lacey posed for the camera, both children from the Muirhouse Mini’s.
