Our Activities Reach Across Craigmillar

This map shows how one community centre — Sandy’s Community Centre — creates a ripple of impact across the wider Craigmillar area. The circles represent how activities and support extend from the centre into the surrounding neighbourhoods, showing local, extended, and broader reach.

If this is the effect of just one centre, it powerfully highlights the vital role community centres play in local life. From early years support to youth activities, family engagement, social connection and essential services — the reach is wide and meaningful. It makes a strong case for not only protecting but investing in all community centres across the city.

Every community deserves a safe, welcoming space like Sandy’s — where people can connect, grow, and thrive together.
