Objectives: The objective of the Association is to address the social, cultural, economic, educational and environmental needs of the population of our defined community, particularly among the most vulnerable in our community. We do this regardless of anyone's age, ability, religion, race, gender identity, or sexuality. We operate for everyone. Our defined community covers the following postcode areas: EH4 2 (Drylaw, Telford, Craigleith), EH4 4(Muirhouse, Siverknowes), EH5 1(Waterfront) and EH5 2(West Pilton, Pilton and Wardie). Our members face a wide range of challenges, including poverty, physical and mental health issues, social isolation, learning disabilities, and mobility issues. Many are older adults, refugees, or members of ethnic minority groups. Every aspect of our work is designed to help relieve poverty, to improve mental health through tackling social isolation and to advance community development. We do this through the delivery of activities, events and services aimed to educate, entertain, inspire and feed our members.
