Children's Parliament StreetsAhead Tranent

Tranent Gala Day

Sunday 5th June was Gala day in Tranent. We were really pleased to be invited along to share the day with our Members of Children’s Parliament (MCPs) and their families. MCPs welcomed visitors to their StreetsAhead Tranent mural, explaining their images and telling the story of their creative process. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to have a chat, we hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did. More information about Tranent Gala Day here: http://www.tranentgala.com/
