Sending a big Thank You to Edinburgh Open Workshop for hosting this months Creative Hours session.

We had a brilliant time with the fabulous Kirsty, she made us feel so welcome and really made it a fun and productive night.

We made butter knives that are now drying out for a couple of weeks before we sand them.

Our thanks also to Julie for organising our visit.

Every year the Junction runs Voice Your Choice - our annual survey for young people in North East Edinburgh.  It helps us find out more about what is going on for young people in our community and what they would like from us. 🗣
 
This year we’re asking about how creativity can support your wellbeing, where young people are getting health info and what would make it easier to access support IRL. You can find the survey link in our bio. 🎨
 
Your responses make a genuine difference. Last year’s results led to us making it easier to pick up free condoms. The year before we learned we needed to make the waiting area more cosy and comfy which we have done! 🎉
 
To say thank you for taking part, you have the option to enter a prize draw for a £20 One4All gift card.
 
Thanks for helping us and we can’t wait to hear your ideas! Head to our profile and click the link in our bio to have your say now! 💜
