About this memory
During the early 1980s in Wester Hailes, young people formed 40% of the population. The community worked hard to increase provision and activities for them, establishing a Youth Programme, the Venchies and youth clubs. This photo formed part of an exhibition More Than A Newspaper which was organised by the City Arts Centre in 1985
