‘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 10 - 12noon

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
