What we've been doing.
We work with
local groups and organisations in Craigmillar, who are key partners in
our project's
delivery. For example, we work with children
from
Hunter's Hall Housing Co-op, local
primary and nursery schools, the
Venchie
adventure playground, as well as the Prince's Trust.
Check out some of the pictures of our projects.
We are
always open to working with new
groups so if you are interested
in
working with us let us know by calling
