Dear Colleagues,
Nobody Knows you when you are Down and Out is the title of the next Creative Conversation with Chris Kilkenny. Chris was a young carer and grew up in care and in poverty in Edinburgh.
This Creative Conversation will start by listening to what Chris’s experience could tell us about closing the gap for young people, not just in Edinburgh but across Scotland. His is very much the story behind the poverty statistics – and a story we need to hear.
Your invitation is attached for Wednesday 28th October, at 4pm for coffee and 4.30 for the Conversation. The welcome will be given by Gillian Tee, Director of Communities and Families and the conversation will be facilitated by David Cameron.
