We may not have taken home the trophy for Partnership of the Year at last night's SCVO Scottish Charity Awards event. But Space at The Broomhouse Hub and our community have already won, thanks to the creativity, generosity, and ambition of the Edinburgh International Festival.
As the International Festival's first Community Connections Hub, Space has helped remove barriers to engagement, enabling hundreds of people to access EIF for the first time.
Highlights include a landmark VR concert launch, dementia-friendly live music, a Culture Club co-created with our ESOL learners, and joint employability work that saw 30 young jobseekers gain skills through the WOW! Project.
Huge congratulations to all of the winners and our fellow nominees—including Partnership of the Year victor Time to Talk, which brings together The Junction - Young People, Health and Wellbeing; ; ; ; and to support and improve young people's mental health and wellbeing.
