I picked this up from social media about our Portobello wild swimmers. Worth a read! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/
Locally, we are amazing! The number of people who come together to do community clean ups, and get to know each other in the process, is fantastic. They put the litterbugs to shame. Portobello Timebank, Friends of Brunstane Burn and Kings Road Residents, Friends of Figgate Park and Brighton & Rosefield Residents Association and they many people who pledge to pick up and bit of litter or more each day – all do their bit as responsible citizens in helping keep our streets clean. The Council can only do so much all on its own! Here is how:

The Edinburgh Remakery is working with the City of Edinburgh Council, The Welcoming, Refuaid, and Bikes for Refugees to provide free refurbished laptops to refugees and asylum-seekers resettling in the UK. This project has already helped 33 refugees and refugee families. But there is still more we can do and plenty more people in need of our help. Click here: https://www.edinburghremakery.
