Thrive Outdoors

North Edinburgh Arts

Part of Organised Outdoor Community Play Fund.

North Edinburgh Arts (NEA) has established itself as a trusted community anchor for Muirhouse, West Pilton and the surrounding neighbourhoods. NEA acts as the creative hub for the local area, as a centre for social exchange and as an informal one-stop shop for community support.

NEA have been delivering outdoor play, gardening and creative sessions for children in our garden since 2013. Following from this, they have run the North Edinburgh Play Rangers since 2015, engaging with hundreds of children every year, many of whom do not attend NEA’s creative programmes and who would be deemed “hard to reach”. NEA take the play and creativity to their spaces, thus broadening our reach locally, as well as exposing these young people to the possibilities of our programme.
