North Edinburgh Community Festival
MCFB is returning to the North Edinburgh Community Festival for our 3rd year in a row!
Black Leadership Group
Our CEO Ethelinda will be speaking at the Black Leadership Group's Annual Conference. She will be presented a keynote address at the Edinburgh session.
Why Attachment Matters: Attachment, Racism and the Impact on Relationships
Why Attachment Matters:
Attachment, Racism and the Impact on Relationships
Workshops for people from Black and Minority Ethnic communities
People from Black and Minority Ethnic communities and their families are too often on the edge of services that could offer support. When services are accessed, there can be a lack of understanding of societal power and racism leading to their voices not being heard and continued 'othering'.
ESOL Focus Group
We're running an ESOL focus group on February 25th from 10 AM to 12 PM.
Are you wanting to take an ESOL class in the future?
We want to hear from you!
What are your challenges?
What works well and what could be better?
Share your opinions! You will receive a gift voucher (Living Wage and travel) as reimbursement. Refreshments will be provided.
MCFB Ceilidh
Are ye' dancin'?
MCFB is having a ceilidh on Friday January 31st from 6-8 PM at Edinburgh College, in the Hub Space.
We will have music by Tinderbox, food from Edinburgh College catering students, a raffle, a giveaway, and more!
