Welcome to the White House
The White House Re-opened
The White House was officially re-opened by Alex Neil MSP on Wednesday the 18th of September 2013. Since then we have offered healthy food options through the White House Kitchen and space is also available for a variety of functions and event catering.
Green-Fingered Volunteers
In early 2014 a joint landscaping project between Castlebrae Community High School and Holy Rood RC High School saw raised planters being constructed in the car park at the rear of the building. We are currently looking for a few green-fingered volunteers who would be interested in helping to grow fresh herbs and vegetables that can be used in our community food project. All volunteers will be given guidance CAT's garden team and can take some of the produce home.
Volunteers
Since its inception, the work of the Community Alliance Trust has depended on the time and effort local volunteers. Their enthusiastic endeavours have been greatly appreciated, whether digging and planting in the community gardens of simple offering someone a warm welcome in the Green House Pantry, CAT wouldn’t be the same without their commitment. If you want to give a helping hand we want to hear from you, contact us on
0131 652 6320
Just remember your safety is paramount to us, all volunteers will be given guidance by CAT's garden or pantry teams. If you are in the gardens, you are more that welcome to take some of your hard labours home with our thanks.
