Edinburgh Wellbeing Pact/Thrive Edinburgh says

As we approach winter we are keen to ensure that communities of place, interest and identity  have opportunities to connect during the winter months which this year are set to more challenging than ever. Thrive Edinburgh has a for a number of years supported the publication of ‘Corrie In for Winter’ booklet and this year we plan to extend Coorie in for Winter to include activities and events.  Here are further information and an application form.

Completed applications should be sent to me by close of play on 17 October. All applications will be reviewed by the Thrive Edinburgh Team, and we will let you know on 25 October the outcome. We do appreciate that this is a short timescale and have tried to keep this application process as straightforward as possible and the turnaround time short so that activities can commence from November onwards. If you have any questions, please just send me an email (Linda.irvinefitzpatrick@nhslothian.scot.nhs.uk) and I will get back to you.

Many thanks for your ongoing commitment to the Edinburgh Wellebing Pact. I’m looking forward receiving your applications and working together to so that everyone can have more good days.
