There were more than a few sore heads in North Edinburgh on Saturday morning following a farewell drinks party for Dave Hewitt in Broughton Street’s Cask and Barrel at the weekend!
Dave Hewitt worked in North Edinburgh for over seventeen years, first at The Pilton Partnership then more recently managing Pilton Community Health Project in Boswall Parkway. Dave moved on to take up a new post with Community learning and Development in Tollcross earlier this month, and Friday’s event was an opportunity to get together with old friends and colleagues to reminisce about the good old days!
Dave said: “I have some great memories of my time in North Edinburgh and I’ve been very fortunate to have worked with some very good people. There’s no doubt that the last few years have been very hard for the whole voluntary sector, though, and that’s been the story for the Health Project too. That’s situations unlikely to change in the near future and projects are constantly struggling to provide the best services they can in very difficult circumstances. I wish all projects in North Edinburgh the very best of luck in the tough times ahead”.
