The Tuesday groups got into the spirit of Easter with lots of ‘Eggciting’ tasks.
The literacy and numeracy group set to measuring and weighing an assortment of chocolate eggs kindly donated by Morrison’s on Ferry Road. They checked out the best by dates and had a good discussion on prices and value for money… before eating them of course.
Unfortunately PEP is going to be losing its bus parking facilities round at West Pilton Place.
We need secure and accessible parking local to North Edinburgh for our fleet of 10 minibuses. If anyone knows of any organisation or business who can assist this local charity; please ask them to get in touch with PEP’s manager Helen Tait on 315 4466.
A huge thank you to Age Scotland who have awarded PEP a Certificate of Excellence in recognition of our work to ‘combat loneliness and isolation in Scotland’s older people’.
It is always nice to have our work in the community recognised, especially by an organisation who is the leading national authority on older people, age and ageing.
The Pilton Equalities Project which supports vulnerable adults in North Edinburgh has received a funding boost from the Ross Liddell Community Bursary Scheme.
PEP’s annual Christmas party was held on the 22rd of December at the Queensberry Bowling Cub. The club hall looked great with all the Christmas decorations up and the tables all dressed for the celebrations ahead.
2015 saw the return of ‘PEP’s Panto Time’ introduced by PEP volunteer and compair Ray Chisholm.
The evening kicked off with the dancers from the ‘Edinburgh Dance Academy’. They wowed the audience with their skills and routines. As always they were a delight to watch.
The Craft group celebrated the run up to Christmas with a one off crafting session.
It gave the group a chance to get all their Christmas cards made for that personal touch. Some of the group also created some fabulous Christmas hanging decorations for their trees.
