It has been a particularly tough tome for everyone over the last year, whether you are a new parent or one with a growing family. Either way, it can be difficult to know whether you’re doing the best thing for your baby. That’s why we’ve partnered with Parent Club to tell you about their Wellbeing for Wee Ones campaign.

A little look at what we are delivering next week, which we will continue to adapt in order to ensure it meets the needs of local families.

We would like to thank all of the families who have engaged with the service during 2020, it has been great to support so many and to help re-connect children and parents after lockdown. Whilst 2021 will still hold many challenges we hope that there will be many more positives to come. Read on to hear some of the great feedback we’ve had from families.

We are proud to be working with a range of partners on this Link up Leith project, supported by the Scottish Government funding, Investing in Communities.

Please have a look at what services we are continuing to deliver in the coming weeks as we approach Christmas. We continue to not have access to our main office / landline number so please email moragwilson@steppingstonesnorthedinburgh.co.uk or info@steppingstonesnorthedinburgh.co.uk with any queries. Stepping Stones will be close from 23rd December until 5th January.

We have really been enjoying developing our outdoor group work programme, with families having some really lovely experiences whilst they explore local green spaces and connect with peers.

Whilst there continues to be restrictions across our communities these latest changes to meeting socially do not apply to services or activities that are already exempt from these restrictions and have been permitted to open subject to their own guidance. Stepping Stones continues to safely offer a wide range of services both face to face and online. Please read on to find out more about our current activities.

It may now be the summer holidays but we are still here providing support and planning activities for local families. Included in our summer activity packs is a treasure hunt which we’ve planned around North Edinburgh, click on the new tab on our website to find out more.
