Curious locals have been asking what the building work at Scotland Yard Adventure Centre – visible from King George V Park – is all about.
The Yard's Chief Executive, Celine Sinclair, told us that the extension is in order to allow offices to move upstairs. In the space vacated downstairs, a new play-room will be created for children aged under 5.
The Yard was established in 1986 as a purpose-built indoor/outdoor facility and adventure playground for children and young people with additional support needs.
A registered charity, it has since established strong roots across both Edinburgh and the local community.
We can all support the The Yard for free when shopping online with over 600 popular retailers via www.easyfundraising.org.uk/theyard. Alternatively, searching the web from http:theyard.easysearch.org.uk also raises funds for this very worthy cause.
