Pilton Youth and Children's Project (PYCP)

Pilton Youth and Children's Project (PYCP) PYCP is a community organisation in Edinburgh that delivers a range of open access and tailored activities to children and young people aged 5 to 18.

PYCP has been at the heart of the Pilton community since 1997, formed when Pilton Youth Programme and Pilton Adventure Play Association merged creating a service for 5 to 18 year olds. We provide a range of activities including youth and children’s clubs, 1:1 support, group work programmes, school holiday programmes and residential experiences. All of our services are designed in consultation with

young people and we work closely with families and a range of community partners to respond to local needs and issues. Our aim is to support each child and young person to realise their potential by providing support, informal education, opportunities to build skills and new experiences. Our current programme includes:

- Open access youth and children’s clubs for ages 5 to 18, including adventure play.
- 1:1 Support service for ages 5 to 18.
- Family support service for children aged 5 to 8 and their families.
- Nurture group work for age 12+.
- Alternatives to Crime service for young people aged 14+.
- Volunteering opportunities. If you would like to find out more about us please visit our website or give us a call.

Celebrating Our Amazing Volunteers

At PYCP we are incredibly fortunate to have volunteers from all walks of life who give their time, energy and passion to support our work across the community.

Whether it’s helping in our community garden, taking part in corporate team challenges, contributing at Board level as Trustees, or supporting our staff across our clubs and groups, every single volunteer plays a vital role in what we do.

We want to say a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you. Your commitment makes a real difference to the lives of children, young people and families in our community.

A special mention goes to Maria, our longest-serving volunteer, who never misses a chance to lend a hand at our PY Summer Picnics – your dedication and warmth are truly appreciated! 🌞

We couldn’t do it without you all. Thank you for being part of the PYCP family.

☀️ Hello June… and welcome back Chat & Chill Café! ☕

As we kick off a new month, we’re delighted to welcome everyone from our local community back to our Chat & Chill Café for three relaxed get-togethers this June:

📅 Thursday 4th June
📅 Thursday 11th June
📅 Thursday 18th June
🕛 12:00 – 1:30pm

Come along, grab some free lunch, enjoy a cuppa and have a good old catch-up with neighbours or even meet some new friends! 😊

You don't have to have children coming to PYCP.
Whether you fancy a chat, a laugh, or just a warm, welcoming space, you’ll find it here. Everyone is welcome! 💜

A wee note for families:

We don’t have a crèche available so children under 5 are very welcome but must be supervised by a parent or carer at all times.
We’d love to see you there ☕✨

Please share with family and friends.

Hi everyone,

We wanted to share a quick update about our upcoming sponsored walk planned for 30th May.

Unfortunately we’ve had to make the difficult decision to postpone the event until August.

This is due to a couple of challenges we’ve faced recently. Our minibus has been badly vandalised and is currently out of action for the foreseeable future which has significantly impacted our plans. On top of that, we haven’t yet managed to raise enough funds to make the event as worthwhile as we’d hoped.

We’re really disappointed to delay, but we hope you understand that this is the right decision for now.

For those who have already kindly sponsored us, thank you so much for your support — it truly means a lot. If you have any questions about what this change means please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

We’re still very much looking forward to completing the walk in August and continuing our fundraising efforts. 💙

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support.
