Leith CRAIC

Community Recreation, Arts & Inclusion Centre


Our Mission & Values

To open a social centre in Leith for people to engage with one another and in activities that bring them joy. A space to share resources, utilise drop-in services, host recreational or educational workshops and events. Engage in stimulating conversations, collaborate on projects or find a corner to work on a creative endeavour. The relaxed and informal atmosphere will foster inspiration and innovation and offer a break from the demands of daily life.

The aim is to create a safe, inclusive and empowering third space in Leith, guided and operated by individuals with lived experience, to combat isolation and loneliness, and boost the mental and emotional well-being of our beloved community. We aim to increase cultural awareness, empathy, and collaboration by engaging with people from different backgrounds, hosting cross-cultural events, and promoting open-mindedness and respect for diversity in all interactions.


Secure Location

We are looking to transform a disused building into a vibrant community hub. The neighbourhood of Leith will gain a focal point for human connection and collective growth.
