Community support group Leith Circle puts its sponsorship requirements in the shop window

Leith Circle has become a very important community support group.

Formed in 2009 by a local group of friends, it has a shop which displays and sells local arts and crafts along co-operative principles.

"In addition to this in the last three years we have 'inspired individuals to fulfil their potential'.

"Some have totally turned their lives around and taken a step forward instead of backwards. Some have achieved the first step into work in Scotland. Some have benefited from the shared life experience of others within the group and most do not feel they are on their own any more!!!

"Everyone in Leith is proud of Leith Circle; but it requires core funding to sucessfully launch future projects - specifically with regard to opening a cafe and kitchen refurbishment within an existing centre and to keep the circle and the shop going.

"The Leith community is very proud of the Leith Circle Shop and it has become a symbol of positivity in what is a very negative period of time".
