Facilitated by Donald Smith, Director of the Scottish Storytelling centre.

6-7pm, Undercroft: Begging in Edinburgh
The TOGETHER Homelessness Committee has arranged a talk on ‘Begging’ from Claire Gibson, Head of Services at Streetwork. Many people find it hard to know what to do (or not do) about the beggars they pass on the pavements of our city. Streetwork has daily patrols to check on those begging and others on the streets, and Claire will explore how best to approach the issue and suggest some alternatives to giving cash. This should be a valuable session. It is open to all members of the three TOGETHER congregations and friends. Do come along if you’re interested. |
