Edinburgh Support for Families Web Pages

Edinburgh Council are delighted to launch our new Support for Families information pages on the council website at www.edinburgh.gov.uk/supportforfamilies

We have transferred the valuable information on free or low cost programmes, activities and groups available for families which we previously listed in our booklets and leaflets to this online version. We hope this will make it much easier for parents, carers and professionals to find support when it is needed.

Find up to date information on the support and activities available for families across Edinburgh at www.edinburgh.gov.uk/supportforfamilies

Fareshare Food Recycling

Fareshare have been dropping off food from local supermarkets on some Fridays for the school community to take as needed.

This is a green initiative to reduce food waste which is great timing with COP26 taking place in Scotland. So do your bit to help reduce food waste and take something home. Check the playground on Fridays after school.
