Please see below our January Newsflash focussing on grants for groups supporting women and children/young people. We are also promoting the excellent edinburgh4community website which helps show funding sources relevant to your own projects. This is provided by our Libraries Service.
There is a short YouTube video showing how to do a search.

(adapted from an email from Edinburgh Council’s head of economic development)
Edinburgh Council is consulting on the draft Leith Economic Framework. This will last 8 weeks, then a finalised version will go to Edinburgh Council’s Economy Committee on 28 April 2015. Edinburgh Council will then develop the “Priority Areas for Council Action” into an action plan with allocated responsibilities and timescales, to fit with the timetable for the overall operational plan for the Economic Development Service.
Alongside exploration of alternative options, Edinburgh Council will continue to examine options for the Leith Docks area as a hub for renewables manufacturing.
Please see papers on Edinburgh Council’s website – and let LCCC know what you think. We welcome input by post (28 Pilrig Street, Edinburgh EH6 5AJ), email and Twitter.
