Our Weekend Wheels opening on Saturday was looking decidedly autumnal! 🍂 Lovely to see local residents and families popping by to try the bikes and have a chat 🚲

We'll be opening up the hub again soon but in the meantime do join us at the Cargo Bike Carnival on the Meadows on Sunday 11th October!

With thanks to Edinburgh Communities Climate Action Network 🫶

📽️📣Banzai present another important free film screening (with refreshments and time to chat / discuss).
Next Monday, 28th Sept in the church on Leamington Terrace, 6.30 - 8.30 pm, come and see Power Station 🌞🌻.
This uplifting award-winning documentary follows two charmingly audacious artist-activists as they attempt to transform their street into a solar-powered, community-owned clean energy hub. Their unstoppable approach to localized climate action brings real lasting positive change and builds community.

We’ve been busy bees! 🐝 Here is a quick update on what we’ve been doing over the past 12 months to get your opinions for a Local Place Plan to submit to Edinburgh City Council. This will influence the City Plan for 2040.

THANK YOU to everyone who has helped to make this happen, shared their time, thoughts, ideas, sandwiches… we really appreciate it.

Feel free to drop us a message if you’d like to be involved in the next stage of the project, which is working on a Community Action Plan for the area.

Exciting stuff! We hope it will make a real, tangible change. 🍃 🌺 🐌
