AGM The annual AGM was held on Saturday 25th June, and it was a well attended event with an overview of the classes and projects supported by Edinburgh Council CLD staff and the centre’s own volunteer management committee. An overview of planned upgrades to the building and facilities was outlined, but set against the uncertainty of just how much financial support Edinburgh Council could continue to provide in the coming months as cuts to their financial budget take effect. Fortunately, wise management of separate funds by the independent management committe have left this centre possibly better equipped than many to deal with these financial challenges. The rather inclement weather of the day unfortunately moved a planned outdoor barbecue indoors. but the weather did brighten up enough later to allow people to move outdoors where they were entertained by Nelson Hall Gospel Choir. SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAMME Southside Community Centre organises and provides a wide variety of classes and programmes both inside and outside the centre during the summer holidays in joint association with 3Ms Youth Partnership, and the new 2016 youth summer programme is now taking bookings.
