COMMUNITY LOTTERY

Remember as well as external funding and support from our current funders to adapt to the Covid-19 pandemic your participation in the Community Lottery helps support some of this activity. Buy your tickets by 7pm every Monday. A big thank you too from Kirknewton to Colin Grieve and Bob Potter from Kirknewton and Ratho Lodge. They kindly came along last week night to present us with a cheque for £250 towards running the community fridge and larder .The Lodge has been doing amazing work throughout the last few months and we are very grateful for their kind donation.

KIRKNEWTON COMMUNITY FRIDGE AND LARDER

Thank you everyone who completed a survey regarding the community fridge and larder. We really appreciate you

taking the time to give us your feedback. Based on the responses we are trialling new opening hours as below. New opening times are now Mondays from 5-7pm. (This is instead of the Tuesdays) and open on Thursdays from 9am-1pm ( this will be soup bag day). Remember if you cannot make these times you can get in touch and we can make up a bag for you. Also, if there is anything, we do not stock that you would like you can let us know and we will do our best to get it for you. We will be continuing with the Soup bag on a Thursday and watch this space for more bags.

Every 5 years Kirknewton do a major community participation exercise to help inform the Kirknewton Community Development Plan.

Your comments will inform the Kirknewton Development Plan 2021-2026 and focus our work and resources. It will be a great help to inspire ideas, lead to more discussion or evidence need for

funding on projects to potential funders. and we’d appreciate and encourage you and all members of your family who live in Kirknewton ( young and old) to participate. We intend to do telephone calls, drop ins, speak to community groups, do on street and door to door interviews this will be difficult at this time.
