We had a fantastic time with the Neighbourhood Networks Musselburgh group, and the results were nothing short of delicious!

After all the hard work with our East Lothian Multiply Project and East Lothian Works, it was time to put those skills into action. With carefully budgeted ingredients in hand, we embarked on a pancake-making adventure! From measuring and tripling the recipe to mixing and cooking, we transformed this kitchen task into a fun and engaging numeracy challenge. The outcome? Mouth-watering pancakes topped with irresistible toffee sauce!

Even better, these activities are paving the way for gaining accredited qualifications. Congratulations to everyone who took part!

🎉Perth and Kinross Council’s Tenant and Resident Participation Team have won the award for their Digital Inclusion Project. 🎉

Recently, on the Digital Skills for Health & Wellbeing project the group from South LD Day Services have been learning all about accessing health care services safely.

The group have found they can access repeat prescriptions, find signposting information for health care and mental health and can make a gp appointment. Access to these services is helping to improve their digital skills and wellbeing.
