This wee cracker was having a rare old time sniffing and exploring, but we are frightened s/he has maybe escaped or someone is looking for them. This was just beyond the opening of Old School avenue on the A71 heading towards West Calder.

The Trust is delighted to say that it is taking operational and financial control of the community cafe and catering operation at The Community Centre/HUB from the beginning of April.

We are doing this to:

* Safeguard a cherished community service
* Save jobs
* Support the HUB in it's plans to keep it open

The CDT set up the project way back in 2018 and later delivered it in Partnership with the HUB before they took it on themselves two years ago. We are proud to be able to take it back on, so it remains in the community.

Keep an eye on our socials for details and information for our relaunch.
