This month PEP took collection of not one, but two new additions to the bus fleet!
Though one is still to get the PEP signage on it; they have already been out and about in the community, with our colleagues at LifeCare being the first to benefit.
Sadly, due to the recent council funding cuts; it is with great regret that we have now closed PEP’s literacy service.
However, we went out in style and threw a party! We were delighted that so many learners were able to come along to PEP, share their stories, memories and say goodbye.
LOOPs NW held their final event this month at the Granton Art Centre, Scotland's first purpose-built art store for paintings, drawings and sculptures from the national collection.
The group of 13 older people attended the Centre to go behind the scenes and examine the collection, before enjoying refreshments and a good chat. It was a successful tour - many thanks to our guide Rosie!
On the 13th December the Granton Baptist Church hosted PEP’s 2018 Christmas show; the hall was packed with up to 140 people who came along to enjoy the festive evening.
Dancers from the ‘Edinburgh Dance Academy’ kicked off the evening with a variety of routines. Their dancing was amazing and the girls and boys wowed the audience with their talent and inspired routines and costumes. They are always a delight to watch!
The Co-op Local Community Fund helps to support local projects that our members care about. Since its launch in 2017, Co-op members have raised £39 million pounds for over 12,000 local causes. We’re delighted that Pilton Equalities Project will now be able to access this funding opportunity.
