Please come along - local projects need your votes
£iberton Gilmerton Decides takes the form of a market-stall where projects will each have a table and be able to chat to the public about what they would do with the grant money. Between an award from the Scottish Government and the South Central Neighbourhood Partnership Community Grants fund we have £20,000 to disburse to projects who will provide a benefit to local people through intergenerational activities. Who gets what is up to you!
The event will be open to the public between 11.00 am and 3.00 pm. It will be good fun so bring yourself along with your friends and family. Anyone over the age of 8 who lives in the Liberton Gilmerton area can participate. The more of you that come the better it will be. There are a few buses that go near Goodtrees but the closest is the No 8 which goes along Moredun Park Road. The Nos 3 and 9 go up Gilmerton Road and the 49 and 33 go up Dalkeith Road. There is plenty parking around the centre
This type of approach is called Participatory Budgeting or PB as it is often known. It's a system where local people decide on how local money is spent. Click here to watch a short video on Edinburgh's PB initiatives. Check our FAQs to find more about PB. On the day, the scores will be totalled and the highest scoring projects will secure the funding - until we reach the £20,000 limit.
What are intergenerational activities?
Intergenerational involves two or more ages coming together in a joint initiative, sharing memories, skills, knowledge and having fun! This could be anything from sport, art, history, environmental improvements, dance etc - basically whatever you like as long as it involves two or more generations. An example of a project could be Strictly Come Dancing where over a period of weeks older people teach the younger generation how to do the Fox Trot, Jive etc. It could also include one off events.
