All Details must be received by 18th November

Posted on by

Please would all applicants be sure to submit the final details that have been requested by the Council £eith Chooses team by 18th November at the latest, or their application may not be able to go forward. In many /most cases this is just a small matter of sending in quotes for planned costs over £300, and/or their organisation’s image  (for the online gallery of projects).

This will allow time for applicants to review the online gallery and accept or amend their project title before 1st December when the gallery describing all of the projects applying goes live for the public to view.

After that date, all organisations should start ‘canvassing’ for votes amongst their supporters and amongst the general public at large. Tell everybody about the project you hope to do, and keep reminding them to come along to the Voting Day and also to vote online, in January.

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer! Here’s the latest news from LeithChooses –

The new theme for LeithChooses for 2024/2025 is Leith Uniting.
Hopefully this is open enough to allow for all sorts of creative interpretations. We will look forward to hearing your ideas for new projects.

Applications are opening early, so you should have plenty time
Along with the ‘back to school’ bustle, LeithChooses will be open for applications from Wednesday 14th August. You will thus have the full school term to prepare and submit your application (until mid October). But please make good use of this long preparation time, and don’t leave everything until the last minute…!

Get Support
At our ‘community conversation’ day in May 2023, many groups expressed a wish for support in putting together their application, and we are very happy to offer as much support as necessary. It’s a good idea to get in touch early, to make the most of support opportunities. Contact can be made via: leithchooses@edinburgh.gov.uk

The new Application Forms and Guidance Notes will be available very soon, from this site. Watch this space! Paper copies will also be available to be picked up from the Leith libraries, The Leith Community Centre, Out of the Blue, and Duncan Place.
