We are delighted to announce that Action For Children are taking on one of the West Park Improvement Plans as part of their ‘Community Challenge’ employability initiative. This is a fantastic opportunity for local young people to get involved in carrying out improvements to the woodland in their local area at the same time as developing new skills. It’s a great programme with lots of opportunities for progression. Find more information about the programme below and details on how to refer are attached. Please share around your local networks.

Five go swimming to Colinton!

Support Health Project’s cross-city sponsored swim

Dear colleagues,

You already do lots to support our work at Pilton Community Health Project, but please consider sponsoring us and sharing this link with others.

Five of us who work at Pilton Community Health Project are attempting to swim the distance between Pilton and Colinton to highlight inequalities in the city –  that’s 400 lengths of Westwards pool (or TEN km) – and raise cash for the project.
