The housebuilder is working with Muirhouse Library to provide a nutritious breakfast Monday-Saturday, 10.30-11.30am, throughout the summer holidays.

Muirhouse Library is located on the doorstep of Urban Union’s award-winning Pennywell Living development, which is part of a wider regeneration project in Pennywell being delivered through a partnership between the City of Edinburgh Council and Urban Union. The regeneration will see the delivery of over 770 new homes to the area, half of which will be affordable.

Councillor Mandy Watt, housing and economy vice convener at the City of Edinburgh Council, said: “We’re delighted that Urban Union is supporting the valued efforts of Muirhouse Library with their breakfast club.  The regeneration of Pennywell is about more than just providing new homes, it is about fostering a sense of community and supporting the people that already call it home.  It’s wonderful that the children and families in the area have such a great place to go to for entertainment, community activities, books, and now, for the duration of the school holidays, a healthy and free breakfast!”

Neil McKay, managing director of Urban Union, said: “The summer holidays are great fun for kids but can prove a challenging time for families who rely on schools for some extra support.

“We are always happy to give something back to the community living in and close to our developments, so teaming up with Muirhouse library to take some of the pressure off and allow the break to be an enjoyable time for families is something we are delighted to support.

“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and something no child should be without, so we are proud to be working with the City of Edinburgh Council to bring this service to the area.”
