Participatory Budgeting event: Leith Community Centre

Saturday 23rd February 12 – 3pm

There are 30 applicants to £eith Chooses – 8 for the ‘Food’ theme, and 22 for the ‘Supporting Vulnerable People’ theme. Lots of really great project ideas!

View them all here in the ‘£eith Chooses Gallery’.

Before the 23rd February

• If you would like to come and vote, but cannot get to the Community Centre under your own steam, please let us know asap and we’ll try and arrange help for you to attend.
• If you are bringing younger children, you may wish to book them in to the free creche (for both applicants and voters). Please get in touch to book them in, in advance (places limited – first come, first served).

Email Caroline.Lamond@edinburgh.gov.uk for either / both of the above

On the day

Come early, if you can – doors open at 12 – don’t leave it to the last minute, because:

• it may get busy at Registration, and at the ballot boxes
• you will want plenty time to chat to project groups on their ‘stalls’
• there will be lovely free food on offer, but it may start to run out …
• your kids may want to get glitter tattoos or face-painting done
• under 8s may need help with the new ‘Kids Vote’ (for the ‘Best Stall’)…
