Heart Talk Porty brings together those who live and work in Portobello to think about what the future of our community could be like. The conversations are intended to be spaces for creative thinking and support.

It may have a long way to go, and will develop as it grows – while constructive criticism is welcome, negativity is not. There will be space to talk about problems, conflicts and ways forward at the โWhat Nextโ meeting at 2pm on the 23rd of January (save the date!) at Bellfield.

– even if you donโt like whatโs being said, itโs important that we behave respectfully to one another. If youโre unhappy with the direction a conversation is taking, make your point politely and then let those whoโre feeling more positive about it have their say.

– for those who tend to talk a lot: please be aware if youโre taking more than your fair share of the space and let others speak
– for those who tend to keep quiet: your thoughts are as important as anyone elseโs – please share them!
