All children & young people who live in the geographic area in and around Cousland (area designated by our constitution) and who attend local schools are welcome to come along. We currently have a membership of 35 children & young people. Contact Jennifer 0131 654 2370 for further information.
Activities
We have weekly themed activities according to seasons or the children / young people’s interest. In the past six months we have concentrated on Health and Fitness with the young people being able to create healthy smoothies/ make healthy choices and participate in dance lessons from ‘Upbeat Dance’. The young people progressed during this time to present a dance show at the end of term for village residents/parents which was very well received.
We also organise a Summer party, Halloween fancy dress party, Christmas party and trip to the Pantomime each year.
