‘Access to Health’ is an innovative  and exciting partnership project between Pilton Community Health Project & Community Organisation for Race Equality (CORE).

Through the use of drama the project will bring together a diverse group of people who live and work in the Greater Pilton to explore  the barriers  to accessing health services as well as developing positive solutions.

Would you like to develop new skills to take positive actions towards eliminating global poverty and acquire skills to question and challenge injustices globally?

Then come along to our new Global Awareness Group which meets every

Wednesday 4 - 6pm

at North Edinburgh Arts Centre.

Your participation will help the group to promote awareness and understanding of global development issues and poverty reduction agenda amongst North Edinburgh BME communities.

Group sessions include discussions, activities, reflection, outings, artwork etc

‘Scotland’s outdoor spaces are powerful playgrounds that can be utilised for recreational, health, social and educational development for the local Black & Minority Ethnic (BME) communities’.

We have changed our name to CORE.

This city-wide course is open to unemployed individuals from a Black and Minority Ethnic background between the ages of 18-50.

The Skills Project training course consists of a combination of classroom based learning and ongoing one to one support and guidance. The CLASSROOM BASED LEARNING is an opportunity to learn multiple subjects that will considerably improve chances of gaining employment. For example, information technology and literacy, job search skills, knowledge and understanding of the job market, how to succeed with interviews, first aid, motivation and confidence building.

CORE(formerly BCDP) and Pilton Community Health Project (PCHP) worked with a group of people from the Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) community in Greater Pilton in 2008 to explore:

• what participants felt affected their health
• the community’s experience of health related services.
