Scottish Interfaith Week starts on Sunday 22nd November. It’s a week of events aimed at promoting tolerance, understanding, companionship between people of all faiths.* EIFA believes that now, more than ever, such work is needed to ensure divisions do not take hold after events such as those witnessed last weekend in Paris, which have already had repercussions in Scotland.

Just over a week to go for applications for £eith Decides!
If you know anyone that’s applying but needs a bit of support to get their application in on time just let Katie Swann know. She can help with getting a group constituted, advice about bank accounts, checking criteria and eligibility etc.
If you know a group that works in Leith and could benefit from some funding, networking and a higher profile that HASN’T applied yet, there’s still time.
Please share and encourage people to get involved.
