A 'life-saving' Edinburgh community centre threatened with closure has been given fresh hope for the future as the council is set to award a £40,000 grant.
The five-figure sum is the exact amount which staff and service users at the Muirhouse Millennium Centre said was desperately needed to keep the lights on, during a compelling deputation to councillors less than a month ago.
Pauline Nicol-Bowie, director of Low Income Families Together (LIFT) which is based at the centre, said she was "delighted" at the news and is planning to throw a party to celebrate.
