Barista training with Burnside School at
The Hub
F&BV CDT have worked in partnership with Burnhouse School (Skills Centre) to provide Barista training and work experience to the pupils at our weekly 'Coffee and Chat' morning on the newly installed Barista machine in The Hub.​
​
A huge thankyou and well done to the students and teachers of Burnhouse School for their Barista coffee service (with a smile). It has been very well received.
Thanks also to everyone from the community who has supported this project and popped into The Hub for a cuppa and a blether on a Thursday morning.
One visitor's comment was that the coffee was '...better than Starbucks!'
Barista coffee is available at The Hub (during term time) on a Thursday morning from 10am-12pm. Just drop-in and support the young people involved!
Please support the Eastfield Community Shop!

The Eastfield Community Shop is aimed at those who are finding the cost of living tough. As your local charity, you can imagine, it can often be a struggle for F&BV CDT to keep the Community Shop shelves as stocked as we would like.
​
We are appealing to you to help out the Community Shop by making a one-off or a more regular donation of a tin/tins. It could be a tin of soup, a tin of fruit, a tin of beans or vegetables or a tin of meat.
​
Everything helps and every donation will be gratefully received.
