Heart Talk Porty Conversations

Heart Talk offered anyone who lives or works in Portobello, Edinburgh the space to hold the conversations they want on the future of Porty.

The idea was to create an opportunity for people to come together to discuss possible community initiatives, and then potentially carry them out. It was also prompted by a sense among community groups that Portobello may need an anchor organisation to help coordinate community initiatives, so this was also an exploration of whether Action Porty should and could play that role.

Thirteen conversations were held outside the Town Hall, in Towerbank Primary School, in St Marks Church and in various halls in Bellfield, in or around the weekend of 20th and 21st November 2021. Some had to be postponed to the new year, and will be held in the Wash House: two with youth groups and another on the future of work.
