Football Aid: Looking for Jodie

Does anyone recognise this photo?

PYCP have been contacted by the founder of Football Aid, who shared this brilliant picture taken at Tynecastle Park when Football Aid first launched.

The girl in the photo is believed to be Jodie Anderson from Pilton, who was around 6 years old at the time — so likely to be around 27 now.

They’d love to reconnect with her, so we thought we’d share it here in case someone knows her or she happens to see it herself.

Please feel free to share with family and friends.

PYCP: Community Chat & Chill Cafe

STARTS THIS THURSDAY 12 FEBRUARY: 12 – 2PM

To all our local neighbours:

For the next 7 weeks we are trialling a warm safe space for our Chat & Chill Cafe. Our first one is this Thursday 12 February midday to 2pm.

Whether you have children attending PYCP or not, EVERYONE in our community is welcome to join us.

Pop in, chill out and enjoy a warm space filled with good vibes and good company.

We will be serving up free homemade soup, tasty sandwiches and some extra treats to brighten your day.

Each session comes with giveaway goodies and a lively round of prize bingo (no cost to you).

We will also have our Pop up shop of affordable clothing if you want to browse and pick up some bargains (cash and card payments taken for this). Any money raised goes staight back in to the running of the clubs and groups.

If you think you can make it for our first Chat & Chill then it would be great if you can give us a quick message or send an email to info@pycp.co.uk

Thanks

PYCP Community Garden Attacked

CRAIGROYSTON HIGH SCHOOL’S GARDEN ALSO HIT BY VANDALISM

🌿 Community Garden Vandalism 🌿

We’re really saddened and frustrated to share that nearly all of our garden beds have been damaged. The wood has been broken, and many of the plants and vegetables that young people and volunteers worked so hard to grow have been pulled out.

This garden means a lot to our community, and it’s disheartening to see so much hard work destroyed. If anyone saw anything or knows who was involved, please get in touch.

We’re determined to repair the damage and keep this space thriving 💜

Craigroyston Community High School has been hit by an attack. The school responded to PYCP:

Awful 😢 We’re about to post the same thing about our garden in the SfL department. It’s so disheartening when we try so hard to keep it good and our young people are working in it 😢
