DESCRIPTION
Leith Community Centre is managed through a partnership between Leith Community Centre Association SCIO and City of Edinburgh Council.
We are proud to be one of Edinburgh's busiest Community Centres, with around 3,000 people using the centre every week.
The Centre is situated on the first floor of the Newkirkgate Shopping Centre, in the heart of Leith. It was re-furbished in 2004 and boasts a Sports Hall, a smaller Hall, 4 general purpose rooms, a room which is suitable for crèches and also a Café.
The Centre is extremely well used throughout the week, by more than 120 local groups and is in high demand as a venue for meetings, training events, AGMs and conferences.
We continue to work to ensure that the programme of groups and events running in the Centre are varied and relevant to the local community.
Many local voluntary organisations meet at the Centre, offering healthy living information, support with narcotics dependence, support for kinsfolk carers, outreach teaching, help with stopping smoking and advocacy groups for those with a learning disability.
Many different classes run throughout the week including English as a Second or Foreign Language classes, dance classes, history groups, art classes, martial arts, a variety of youth clubs and family crafts among a few. Local groups including residents associations and community councils also meet at the Centre.
