Opportunities for young people at West Pilton Park

Hi All,

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.
