About the Project Creator
Hi, I'm Steve Wheatley. I live in Portobello, Edinburgh with my wife and family. It's a great place to live and bring up kids as there's so much going on in the local community.
The phone box at the end of my street was being decommissioned by BT so I proposed to the local community council that they adopt it, which they did.
Along with local volunteers, we've started to renovate the phonebox and we now need funds to continue and turn it into a "light box" to display art and images from within the local community and beyond.
I have no experience of fund raising and this is my first go! It retains the old phonebox as a small part of the local heritage and puts it to another use, just for fun.
