Pilmeny Development Project (PDP) has been operating in Leith since 1979. It is managed by local residents and funded by the City of Edinburgh Council and its own fundraising efforts. It employs two community workers, a part-time administrator and a part-time bookkeeper. 

Statement: We have come to recognise that sectarianism needs to be understood as a multi-faceted complex issue – it differs by community and geography, social class, gender, and changes through time. Sectarian identities, ideas and behaviours reflect attitudes, beliefs and attachments which are heavily influenced by both place and wider social forces.  But through dialogue, conversation, and active engagement with the community, conflicting groups can be encouraged to develop mutual understandings and respect.
