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.
Lianne Pipskyj,
Development Worker- Physical Activity, Pilton Community Health Project

** We are now recruiting for our next Challenge programme at – WEST PILTON PARK**
Could you please share this amongst your colleagues and partners within the North Edinburgh area?
Ideally we would be looking to engage with 13 young people in the local area. If we are not able to fill the 13 places from our group then I may need to open the referral process further to ensure we utilise the spaces.
