More Youth Clubs
A big increase in youth work funding for Cameron House Community
Centre has seen an expanded programme for youngsters in Prestonfield,
Priestfield and Newington.
Edinburgh Council and City Partnership grants of more than £9,000
has resulted in many more youth clubs, sports groups and arts courses
from March this year.
Over 100 children from the area are now accessing these
opportunities, improving their learning, skills and health.
Over the next three years Edinburgh Council will invest an extra £5
million in these types of opportunities for children. Every young person
in Edinburgh will get the chance to benefit from extra learning chances
in sport, drama, homework clubs, computers and the arts.
This should have a positive impact on local vandalism. Following
growing concerns, there are now also two community police officers
working with young people in the area.
