Project applications should align with this year’s theme: Sustaining Leith: supporting and protecting the most vulnerable in our community.If you would like to discuss your ideas, or need some help or advice with your application, please:

  1. Come along to the Nelson Hall (at MacDonald Road Library, from 4 pm on Wednesday 1st September or Wednesday 8th September for a face to face chat
    or
  2. Get in touch and a member of the Steering Group will make contact with you to offer support. Email: caroline.lamond@edinburgh.gov.uk

Why so early this year? We know from feedback from applicants in the past that it can be an uncomfortable struggle to be finishing off an application at the tail end of the year, just as Christmas is approaching, so moving everything a bit earlier is an attempt to remove that barrier. Voting will be in January 2023.
