This is a chance for them to have their voices he’rd on a topic that has a massive effect on them.

The event will be held on Wednesday 7 December at North Edinburgh Arts, 15a Pennywell Court.

1.30pm – 2.30pm – a more informal chance to speak to the young parents, network and find out more about the services provided by Stepping Stones. Refreshments and nibbles will be provided.
