The recent Know Your Own Neighbourhood held on Saturday 29 June in the Library saw 28 third sector, community groups and statutory bodies engage with the Greater Craigmillar community. Turn out could have been better and organisers will review the partner feedback and adjust the event in 2025. Those who did attend enjoyed the opportunity to speak to local service providers on a wide variety of topics. In addition, organisations took the chance to network with each other and its hopeful some good collaborative work comes from these tentative discussion.
