The heart of the community
 The South Edinburgh Community Complex at 13 Newtoft Street was formally opened on Tuesday, 12th June by Jackie Baillie, MSP, Minister for Social Justice, with a little help from their friends - the Swing Band from Gracemount High School.
The
community complex is home to the South Edinburgh Social Inclusion
Partnership, your very own South Edinburgh Echo, the Voluntary Sector
Support Project, Communities that Care and Worktrack.  Joining
Jackie Baillie MSP to launch the refurbished offices were Angus Mackay
MSP, Margaret Farmer, Community Director for Gilmerton on the SIP Board and
Councillor Ken Harrold.
Gilmerton
Library who share the building will open for business at 1.30pm on
Monday 25th June and make the refurbishment and relocation complete. The
Partnership and library will share meeting room facilities which are
also available for use by local community and voluntary organisations
within the South Edinburgh area. The
community complex project shows what can be achieved by real 'Partnership
Working' - with the former supermarket building being completely
remodelled to provide high quality suitable and accessible premises for
organisations providing a worthwhile community resource for the whole of
South Edinburgh.
