a public meeting in Penicuik Town Hall on Tuesday 23 November 2010, more public workshops to get involved in both the
Trust’s Bank Mill Project and Walled Garden Food Project were held in Penicuik

As well as donations and loans the Trust is looking for help of all
kinds from people of all ages with practical skills and ideas to help us
develop and realise this exciting project. We will be delighted to record any
help you are able to give. Through our unpaid internships the Trust can offer
testimonials to those who contribute their time and energy in ways which take
the project forward.
