Grassmarket's Lifeline: Mercat Tours & Invisible Cities Partnership

Partnership in 2020 has never been more important. Its how we have survived the COVID pandemic, loss of income and mitigated against lockdowns.
Partnerships can make or break a community, and in this episode of 'Grass Cuttings', you'll hear how two incredible collaborations have been the lifeblood of the Grassmarket Community Project. The Grassmarket Community Project, known for its tireless work supporting those with experiences of homelessness, mental health issues, and isolation, takes a moment to celebrate its alliances with Mercat Tours and Invisible Cities.
These partnerships are not just business deals; they're lifelines that have helped navigate the stormy seas of the COVID pandemic and beyond. Mercat Tours, a local family-run business with a deep love for Edinburgh's history, and Invisible Cities, a social enterprise turning the stigma of homelessness on its head by training former rough sleepers to become city tour guides, are both featured in this heartwarming episode.
Listeners will get an inside look at how these collaborations have thrived despite the challenges of 2020. Representatives from both Mercat Tours and Invisible Cities share their stories, revealing how ethical practices and community-focused missions can drive real change. You'll hear about the resilience required to adapt to new realities and the hope that comes from empowering individuals to tell their own stories.
If you're interested in how community spirit and innovative thinking can create lasting impact, this episode is a must-listen. It’s a testament to the power of working together and supporting the most vulnerable among us.
