The Church of Scotland has confirmed that Malta House will remain with LEAP. This victory proves what happens when a community refuses to back down. Keep your eyes on our page because we will ensure the transition of the lease stays on track.

“We the undersigned request that the Church of Scotland does not sell the property FOR DEVELOPMENT and does not terminate the lease of LEAP at Malta House, Stockbridge. LEAP is the first abstinence programme of its kind in Scotland. It has pioneered a highly successful community-based treatment and rehabilitation programme for those dependent on alcohol and other drugs. It is our hope that all endeavours will be made to enable this outstanding programme to continue in its present home.”
[Text amended after signature 364 to add words “for development” to petition; see Facebook to follow developing campaign].

So sad to see money winning out over real help. stockbridge doesnt need more development it needs support services like this.
LEAP stays. end of story.
Save malta house!! this place is a lifeline for so many families.
LEAP has helped so many people in this city. dont shut them down just to build some more luxury flats no one needs.
Have seen the impact this program has on the community. keep it right where it is.

Ridiculous. they do vital work here and the church should be ashamed of themselves for putting profit before people.
