Our Family Wellbeing Practitioners identified a need within their intensive parent support service: a place for mums over 25 to meet, socialise, and create new community bonds. Many of the parents we work with over 25 are less interested in or unable to attend the more formal arts and crafts, employability workshops, and young parent groups – but they still want the opportunity to meet other parents.

Last term the Bump Start Team really enjoyed volunteering with Pregnancy Counselling and Care, helping to sort donations of baby clothes and items in their new premises at the Gyle.

We have had a very busy term at our Toddler Group with lots of fun and learning. Read on to hear more about what the group have been up to.

Our Tuesday’s parents group has recently concluded their Media Education project where they developed ideas that were important to them into short films.

The Introductory Group completed four sessions recently with Creative Electric founder Heather Marshall. Through Creative Electric, Heather creates theatre, live art and tape art with and for people that may not traditionally engage in the arts due to social, physical and/or financial barriers.

We’re excited to announce that the National Lottery Fund Scotland has granted us an Improving Lives award!

With spring and summer nearing, we are proud to announce the re-launch of our Steps to Grow programme. We run this group once a week within Granton Community gardens, which is based in a safe, secure and natural outdoor environment.
