Community Clean-Up Success at Ferry Road Drive

A huge thank you to the amazing young people from PYCP Youth Committee and the local Police Community Officers from Police Scotland Edinburgh for giving up their time to help clean up the basketball court at Ferry Road Drive.

This was our third community clean-up and once again the team worked incredibly hard to make a difference.

Sadly, we found large amounts of waste including beds, furniture, gas cylinders, general rubbish, and far too much dog fouling. While it’s disappointing to see it’s also a reminder of why these clean-ups are so important.

Our goal is to make this court a safe, welcoming space where young people can play, be active and enjoy their community. We also want to encourage local residents to take pride in and care for this valuable community asset.

We’re also in the process of setting up a local tenant working group so that ownership, upkeep and maintenance of the space can be shared across the community so If you’re interested in getting involved in future clean-ups, we’d love to hear from you, please get in touch with us.

Thanks to NuGen Recycling and Environmental Solutions for their amazing removal service and suport with the clean up.

Together, we can make this space better for everyone.

PY’s Sponsored Walk Postponed

FUNDRAISING EVENT RESCHEDULED FOR AUGUST

Hi everyone,

We wanted to share a quick update about our upcoming sponsored walk planned for 30th May.

Unfortunately we’ve had to make the difficult decision to postpone the event until August.

This is due to a couple of challenges we’ve faced recently. Our minibus has been badly vandalised and is currently out of action for the foreseeable future which has significantly impacted our plans. On top of that, we haven’t yet managed to raise enough funds to make the event as worthwhile as we’d hoped.

We’re really disappointed to delay, but we hope you understand that this is the right decision for now.

For those who have already kindly sponsored us, thank you so much for your support — it truly means a lot. If you have any questions about what this change means please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

We’re still very much looking forward to completing the walk in August and continuing our fundraising efforts.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support.
