The people who taught Margaret\, asked her to take health a nd happiness back to her country. \nXiang Gong is a 20 minute sequence of 14 different arm movements\, guided by a soundtrack (original from China). Margaret (and a few other experienced volunteers) will demonstrate the m ovements. It is suitable for all capabilities\, it can be done sitting or standing. \nIf the weather allows\, we will do Xiang Gong in the garden\, otherwise indoors. \nRoom:\nLibrary/Garden \nAccessibility:\nLibrary is fu lly accessible. \nThe Salisbury Centre’s kitchen door and toilet are now wheelchair accessible.

ALL funds will go toward The Jester fundraisers\, event s\, and the venue itself coming into fuition. \nLocation: PASS theatre\, W est Granton Road\, Edinburgh. EH5 1QE. \nTime: 18th September 2026\, doors 18:15\, show starts 18:30. \nPlease note that no entry will be available once the show begins. The show will include one break approximately 55 min s into the show which will last 15 minutes. If you have access needs\, ple ase get in contact with The Jester\, and we will accommodate you. Wheelcha ir access available. \n  \nOUR AIM:- \nThe Jester will be a queer-owned s pace which aims to be a community-driven accessible performance arts hub i n Edinburgh\, specifically designed to bridge the gap between education an d the professional performing arts industry. We want to offer everyone the fair and equal opportunity to watch\, enjoy\, perform and create. We woul d like to foster the growth of creatives\; offering them an affordable ‘ third space’ to write\, network\, rehearse and attend workshops by day\; and by night\, watch our high-quality Jester-produced events\, as well as touring shows\, fundraisers and charity events. Offering a space to group s within the community such as Andy’s Man Club\, Bipolar Scotland\, and many other charities is also very important to the venue. We would also li ke to create a Youth Theatre Group within the Jester\, operating closely w ith local colleges\, schools and universities. Not only this\, but our ven ue would be offered as a performance and rehearsal space for nearby primar y\, highschools and colleges who either want to gain experience working in a professional environment\, or don’t have the facilities for technical courses within drama (nat 5\, higher and adv higher)\, or don’t have an y sort of suitable space at their campus. \nWhat We Stand For:- \nAccessib ility\nWe are committed to establishing Edinburgh’s first and only fully accessible comedy venue\, addressing a significant gap in the city’s cu rrent arts infrastructure. We will ensure to host at least one show a mont h with a sign interpreter on stage with acts\, we have also been in discus sion with funding bodies regarding installing a ‘Changing Places Toilets ’- which will benefit many wheelchair users\, folks with carers\, and th ose with stomas\, etc. We will always be as accommodating as possible\, es pecially if provided extra information before shows when it comes to fundr aisers. \nCommunity\nOur focus is on cultivating a “human vibe” that p rioritises community collaboration and genuine creative expression over pu rely commercialised products. Legitimately everything we are going to do h as the greater community in mind- offering the space to charities during t he day\, working with local schools\, and working with professionals in th e industry to develop and offer high-quality\, beneficial workshops. \nEdu cation\nWe aim to create meaningful pathways for students to gain hands-on experience in a professional working live events venue environment\, prov iding space for rehearsals\, exams\, and performances. In addition\, we wi ll also run and produce our own Youth Group- and hire a small team of loca l drama and theatre teachers to assist\, to ensure the highest quality of education available. Workshops for all ages and abilities will also be off ered to everyone\, whether they have performed with us previously or not. \nInclusion\nThe Jester is dedicated to being a safe and welcoming space f or the neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ communities\, as well as other marginalis ed groups. \nSystemic Change\nWe seek to revitalise Edinburgh’s performi ng arts scene\, ensuring it thrives year-round beyond the world-famous fes tival season. Additionally\, as someone who worked as a stand up comedian for multiple years- breaking down the culture of comedy being a ‘Man’s Club’ is very important to me. Not only are we planning on working with Get Off Live Comedy to provide vital Anti-Sexual Harassment training to t he future staff members of the venue – but also will be providing a safe \, anonymous contact system for comedians to report any harassment directl y to myself and the board – which include the Head of Production and the Head of Tech\, ensuring the venue will forever stay entirely safe for eve ryone after reviewing reports. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\nEdinburgh C ollege Theatre (Granton Campus)\n350 West Granton Road\, Edinburgh\, EH5 1 QE LAST-MODIFIED:20260918T001659Z LOCATION:Edinburgh College Theatre (Granton Campus)\, 350 West Granton Roa d\, Edinburgh\, EH5 1QE\, United Kingdom URL:https://esen.scot/event/stand-up-for-the-jester-comedy-show-fundraiser /?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=edinburgh-scotland X-SOURCE-NAME:Edinburgh Social Enterprise Network X-SOURCE-URL:https://esen.scot/edinburgh-open-workshop END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:!!

We know it can be daunting for newcomers. But please don’t worry\, we have a fantastic base of regulars who have all been new at some point. You\\`ll find people are very friendly and the organisers even actively k eep an eye open to make sure you get a warm welcome. If we've missed you\, just ask one of the tables. ***What to Expect***: The day is very informa l. Some people will have pre-planned a longer game (feel free to use the c omments)\, but the vast majority will honesty just form tables with whoeve r is free using the big pile of games we keep on site. It’s a great way to meet new people.\n\n**DO I NEED TO KNOW ALL THE GAMES?** Not at all! Ho nestly\, that would be an impressive feat in its own right! Dont worry\, p eople usually find a game someone knows how to teach\, often something the y brought from home and we try to keep a good number of easy to pick up on es in the library.

It combines tranquility (samatha)\, insight ( vipassanā)\, mindfulness\, and loving-kindness (mettā) to cultivate a re laxed\, joyful\, and deeply aware mind. \nAt the heart of TWIM is the 6R Process—a simple and practical method for working with distractions\, le tting go of habitual reactions\, and returning to a state of ease and clar ity. Rather than suppressing thoughts or forcing concentration\, TWIM teac hes practitioners how to recognize and release craving and tension\, allow ing the mind to naturally settle into deeper states of peace and collected ness\, including the jhānas. \nThe six steps of the 6Rs are: \n\nRecogniz e when the mind has become distracted.\nRelease the distraction without judgment or resistance.\nRelax the subtle tension in both the body and mi nd.\nRe-smile to bring lightness\, kindness\, and balance back to the pra ctice.\nReturn to the meditation object\, usually the feeling of loving-k indness (mettā).\nRepeat the process whenever the mind wanders.\n\nThrou ghout the event\, participants will learn how loving-kindness naturally de velops into the Four Divine Abodes (Brahmavihāras)—loving-kindness\, co mpassion\, appreciative joy\, and equanimity. As these wholesome qualities deepen\, the practice also provides direct insight into Dependent Origina tion\, helping practitioners see the impersonal nature of thoughts\, feeli ngs\, and habitual reactions. Through this understanding\, craving gradual ly weakens\, leading to greater freedom\, peace\, and the gradual ending o f suffering. \nThis event is suitable for both beginners and experienced m editators. Whether you are new to meditation or looking to deepen an exist ing practice\, TWIM offers a practical path for cultivating lasting inner peace and wisdom in everyday life. \n  \nAbout the Facilitator\nRoss Deig hton has been exploring meditation and the path of inner development for m ore than twenty years. During that time\, he practiced a variety of medita tion traditions and studied with different teachers\, always seeking a dee per understanding of the mind and the causes of suffering. \nIn 2022\, Ros s was introduced to Tranquil Wisdom Insight Meditation (TWIM). Through reg ular practice and guidance from experienced TWIM teachers\, including his first 10-day retreat\, he found an approach that brought greater ease\, cl arity\, and a deeper understanding of the Buddha’s teachings. The emphas is on loving-kindness\, relaxation\, and direct insight resonated deeply w ith him and continues to shape both his practice and daily life. \nRoss is passionate about sharing TWIM in a way that is welcoming\, practical\, an d grounded in the original teachings of the Buddha. He enjoys supporting o thers as they discover for themselves the possibility of greater peace\, w isdom\, and freedom through consistent practice. \nOutside of teaching med itation\, Ross enjoys playing music with friends\, dancing\, helping to ru n a small family business\, and exploring practices that cultivate awarene ss and wellbeing\, including enlightened communication\, Qigong\, and Nei Gong within the Taoist tradition. \n  \nAccessibility\nThe Wellspring Roo m is fully accessible. \nThe Salisbury Centre’s kitchen door and toilet are now wheelchair accessible. The Garden can also be accessed by wheelcha irs via a movable ramp via the Art Room Annex. Please let the organisers k now in advance of any access requirements.

A few guidel ines might help to create a respectful\, open and relaxed space. \nSuggest ed guidelines and practicalities:\nAt the start of each meeting the guidel ines are to be considered\, modified (if desired) and adopted for the meet ing.\nConfidentiality: Whatever is talked about in the meeting is totally confidential and will not be discussed outside the meeting (also not in th e break)\, not even with people who were present at the time. Confidential ity gives me the freedom to talk about things that I may not want to talk about outside this kind of meetings.\nOnly one person speaks at a time: Op tional: the person who is speaking can invite brief comments or answer sho rt questions.\nSilence between speakers (1-5 minutes). Optional: silence d uring the 15 minute break.\nAgree a maximum time that one person can speak (5 minutes?)\nIf a speaker goes on too long or goes off-topic\, anyone ca n gently ring the bell. (Only ring the bell gently\; it is up to the speak er to change/stop/come to the point\; this should not be used to discourag e people from speaking what is on their mind\, even if you disagree or do not understand).\nWe share our OWN experiences/opinions/ideas. We do not g ive each other advice or criticise each other. I suggest using the word “I” instead of “you” or “we”\, in this context.\nWe do not ‘ jump in’ to comment on what someone else has just said. We do not presen t other people’s teachings/wisdoms except if it is needed to give contex t to the subject and our own experience. \nSubjects: at the end of each me eting the participants set the subject for the next meeting. \nExample Sub jects of exploration\n“Meditation” can cover a whole range of techniqu es and traditions (separate subjects?): \n◦ Why meditate?\n◦ What is y our experience when you meditate?\n◦ How do you meditate?\n◦ Is Mindfu lness different from meditation? \nWhat have you tried that did not work o r did not work the way you expected? \n◦ techniques\, rituals\, therapie s\, religious practices\nEmotions\n◦ Are emotions useful or a hindrance in personal or spiritual development?\nGod\n◦ Words: e.g. Source\, Godde ss\, (named) Deity \, Life Force\, Creator\, etc.\n◦ Is it useful to use the word [God] and what do you mean by it?\n◦ Do you have an image of [ God]\, a bit like a personal image or an image that a certain religion sug gests\; or do you use the word [God] for the underlying creative/life forc e of the universe\; or something else? \nIs it useful to ask: “Who am I? ” \n◦ Variations: “Who am I?”\, “What am I?”\, “Where is the ‘me’\; inside\, outside\, both?” \nEgo \n◦ Is it a problem or a f eature?\n◦ How do you experience it? \nFree Will \n◦ What is it?\n◦ Does free will exist? \nGratitude \n◦ Life is a mystery to be lived\, no t a problem to be solved.\n◦ Whether you believe in a divine plan or in the big bang and random evolution\, the fact that we are here as sentient beings\, talking to each other is a miracle. \nLife after/before death \n ◦ Heaven & Hell\n◦ Reincarnation \nWhat is the Salisbury Centre about? \nRoom:\nWellspring Room \nAccessibility:\nWellspring Room is fully acces sible.

If a particular gender is over-repre sented in the run-up to the event\, we do our best to ensure that under-re presented gender(s) also sign up. \nWhile we aim to achieve an even balanc e of genders (and ages)\, this is not always possible. However\, what is g uaranteed are skills that you can apply to any connection. Simply come wit h an open mind and ready to connect. \nThe Facilitator 💁‍♂️ \nLau rie King (he/him) is a queer British-Kiwi based in Berlin.

It's sometimes hard t o tell whether someone has signed up and is not showing\, or if they are r unning late. Please let us know in the comments if you're running a few mi nutes late and we'll wait for you before starting all the games.\n\nEach t able usually plays one or two longer games (depending on their lengths)\, and we usually finish at around 22:00. We do need to be out of the door by midnight due to the hotel's licencing rules. So please keen an eye on tim e.\n\nThere is no charge to joining as the hotel is giving us the space fo r free. However\, since the hotel are hosting us for free\, please buy a d rink or two while there to ensure their continued support for this event. The hotel staff preparing the drinks are also manning the hotel desk. Plea se be patient with them if they are slow serving!\n\n* **20% Discount at t he Hotel bar if you use the phrase: "Can I get the discount\, I'm with the gamers over there. Cheers!"** ... or they just realise you're with us.\n\ nBring games if you like\, or jump on a game that someone else has brought . **If you do bring a game\, please be prepared to teach it!**\n\n**Any fe edback?** These Monday events have been running for about 6 months. We are piloting advertising these events on Meetup\, and are still learning. Ple ase let the organisers know if you have any feedbacks or suggestions for i mproving these events (or its Meetup advert)\, and they will be taken into consideration.\n\n**Want to help with EBG running costs?** There is absol utely no obligation for you to do this but\, if you feel so inclined\, ple ase [join our Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/EdinburghBoardGamers). Huge thanks to everyone donating already. Its genuinely really helping and ver y much appreciated!\n\n**As ever\, please do not donate if money is tight. ** There is absolutely no pressure\, obligation\, or judgement here. You a re helping us plenty by just adding to the friendly atmosphere and **we\\` d** **much** **rather you spent cash at the venue if deciding between the two.**\n\n**I'M NEW AND UNSURE WHAT TO DO!** Do not fear! We know it can b e daunting for newcomers. But please don’t worry\, we have a fantastic b ase of regulars who have all been new at some point. You\\`ll find people are very friendly and the regulars even actively keep an eye open to make sure you get a warm welcome. If we've missed you\, just ask one of the tab les and say hi.\n***What to Expect***: The event is very informal.

The lates t Scottish Household Survey results for 2025 show an increase in overall v olunteer participation\, with 27% of adults in Scotland volunteering with a group\, club or organisation in the last year – this is an estimated 1 .25 million formal volunteers!  \n \n \n \n This is an increase from 25% in 2024 and means that the number of volunteers in Scotland increased by 267\,000 between 2024 and 2025. This is particularl y encouraging given that volunteer participation had dropped to a record l ow of 18% following the Covid-19 pandemic and cost-of-living crisis and su ggests that the recovery for Scotland’s voluntary sector is gathering mo mentum. In fact\, formal volunteer participation is now higher than it was immediately before the Covid-19 pandemic.  The results reveal that infor mal volunteering\, which is volunteering that happens outside of a group\, club or organisation\, has also increased for the first time since 2018. This means that\, together with formal volunteering\, over half (52%) of S cottish adults have volunteered in some capacity at least once in the last year.   While this overall increase in volunteer numbers is a worthy ca use for celebration\, the Scottish Household Survey data reveals that the inclusion gaps that emerged last year are persistent. Adults in Scotland ’s least deprived communities now volunteer at double the rate of those in the most deprived communities\, with a participation gap of 17 percenta ge points. There remains a worrying participation gap between disabled and non-disabled adults despite some improvements\, with a gap of 8 percentag e points (down from 10 percentage points in 2024)\, which remains signific antly higher than it was pre-pandemic (5 percentage points). A 12 percenta ge point gap now exists between the lowest and highest income groups.  In our State of Scottish Volunteering in 2025 report\,  we shared Carnegie UK’s research that being disabled and living in a deprived neighbourhood are the two factors most strongly associated with low wellbeing in Scotla nd. We know that volunteering delivers the greatest wellbeing gains for th ose who are most disadvantaged\, yet data from the two most recent Scottis h Household Surveys show that the gaps in volunteer participation mirror t hese broader societal inequalities. This means that the very people who st and the benefit the most from volunteering are currently benefiting the le ast. These results show us that inclusion and equity of access to formal v olunteer opportunities as well as having a positive experience while volun teering remain as priority challenges for the sector to address.    The 2025 Scottish Household Survey also confirms that the nature of formal vo lunteering in Scotland is changing. Ongoing data from the SCVO Third Secto r Tracker has shown us that the sector continues to struggle with voluntee r recruitment and retention despite an increasing number of third sector o rganisations reporting a greater number of volunteers. Today’s results h elp us understand why: volunteering is becoming less frequent and more low intensity. Together\, these shifts show that volunteers are increasingly giving smaller\, less regular amounts of time.   Today’s results\, the refore\, contain both encouragement and challenge for the sector\, and rei nforces Volunteer Scotland’s commitment to supporting inclusive and flex ible volunteering.  This blog highlights key findings on formal volunteer ing in 2025 from the data published on 17th September 2026 and compares re sults to 2024 findings. We will publish a more detailed analysis\, includi ng on informal volunteering and an estimated economic value of volunteerin g\, in the coming months.  \n \n \n \n Insights from the 2025 SHS data \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Key findings for formal volunteering:   For mal volunteering participation has continued to recover in 2025\, rising f rom 25% to 27%. This marks the second consecutive year of growth and bring s participation slightly above the pre–pandemic rate of 26% recorded in 2019. Scotland now has an estimated additional 267\,000 adults volunteerin g formally compared to last year. While this is a positive milestone\, the long-term trend still shows a fall from the 31% peak in 2010.  Voluntee ring is becoming less frequent and more low‑intensity. Regular voluntee ring (at least once a month) has fallen from 77% in 2022 to 70% in 2025\, while occasional volunteering (less than once a month) has increased from 23% in 2022 to 30% in 2025. Low‑intensity volunteering (five hours or l ess per month) has increased from 56% in 2022 to 58% in 2025\, while high ‑intensity volunteering (16 hours or more per month) remains stable at 1 8%.  Adults in Scotland’s least deprived communities (SIMD Q5: 34%) now volunteer at double the rate of those in the most deprived communities (SIMD Q1: 17%)\, widening the participation gap to 17 percentage points — the largest since 2019. The percentage of volunteers who fulfil comm ittee member and Trustee roles fell from 27% to 23%\, reflecting a well-re ported challenge in trustee recruitment and retention across the sector.    \n \n \n \n Formal volunteering demographics:   Age – Adults aged 35–59 saw the strongest growth\, increasing from 27% in 2024 to 30% in 2025\, now the highest‑participating age group. Yo unger adults (16–34) increased slightly from 24% to 25%\, continuing the ir gradual recovery. Adults aged 60 and over remained stable at 25%\, unch anged from 2024. Gender – Male participation increased from 24% to 27%\ , closing the gap with females\, whose participation remained stable at 27 %. For the first time in several years\, gender differences in participati on have largely disappeared. Disability – Disabled adults saw a notable increase in participation\, rising from 18% to 21%. However\, non‑disab led adults also increased slightly (28% to 29%)\, meaning the participatio n gap remains substantial at eight percentage points. This continues the l ong‑term pattern of unequal access to volunteering. Ethnicity – Parti cipation increased across most ethnic groups. The largest rise was among a dults in the ‘White – Other’ category\, increasing seven percentage points to 31%. ‘White – Other British’ adults also saw strong growth (34% to 38%). Participation among ethnic minority groups remained stable at 26%. Net annual household income – adults with household incomes o ver £30\,000 saw an increase in participation from 29% in 2024 to 31% in 2025. Participation among lower‑income adults (earning up to £15\,000) remained unchanged at 19%. This differential change has widened the partic ipation gap between the lowest and highest income groups to 12 percentage points. Economic Status – Adults in employment continue to have the hig hest participation rate\, increasing from 26% to 29%. Participation among retired adults remained stable at 25%\, while adults with ‘other’ econ omic status increased slightly to 23%. Geography – Geographical diffe rences have sharpened. Participation in remote rural areas increased signi ficantly to 40%\, and accessible rural areas rose to 35%. Remote small tow ns also saw strong growth (23% to 31%). In contrast\, participation in lar ge urban areas fell from 26% to 24%\, widening the rural–urban gap.  \n \n \n \n Formal volunteer activities:  ‘Local community/neighbourhood’ remains the most common type of volunteering\, increasing from 24% in 2024 to 26% in 2025. ‘Children’s education and schools’ saw the biggest rise\, increasing from 14% to 18%. ‘Youth o r children’s activities outside school’ decreased\, falling from 21% t o 19%. Volunteering in ‘Politics’ (3%)\, ‘Emergency services\, firs t aid and public safety’ (3%)\, ‘Culture and heritage’ (7%)\, and ‘Adult guidance\, advice and learning’ (5%) remained static between 20 24 and 2025. Most other sectors increased\, including environmental prote ction (6% to 7%)\, physical activity\, sport and exercise (17% to 19%)\, a nimal welfare (4% to 5%)\, groups supporting older people (6% to 7%)\, and health\, disability and wellbeing (13% to 14%).  \n \n \n \n Types of formal volunteering roles  ‘Generally helping out as required’ remains the most common volunteer role\, increasing slight ly from 54% to 55%. Fundraising (18% to 20%)\, transporting people or thi ngs (9% to 11%)\, and campaigning (4% to 6%) saw the largest increases. Vi siting\, buddying or befriending also increased\, rising from 8% to 10%. P roviding education\, training or coaching increased from 22% to 23%\, and providing advice\, support or advocacy increased from 12% to 13%. Office or administrative work decreased from 19% to 15%\, and smaller decreases w ere seen in promotion and marketing (9% to 8%) and counselling (5% to 4%).   \n \n \n \n Inclusive volunteering remains a priori ty \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n These headline findings emphasise the importance of the Sco ttish voluntary sector’s ongoing efforts to promote inclusive volunteeri ng. Through the Volunteering Action Plan\, we aim to create a Scotland whe re everyone can volunteer\, more often\, and throughout their lives.  Las t year\, Volunteer Scotland hosted nine roundtable events on ‘Bridging t he Participation Gap’\, engaging 180 stakeholders\, including volunteers \, the practice community (such as volunteer-involving organisations and v olunteer managers)\, and enablers such as policymakers and funders. The th emes from the Bridging the Participation Gap roundtable series have shaped Volunteer Scotland’s ongoing work to support inclusive volunteering.  Responding to the themes\, our work includes three priority projects:  Na vigating Hostility and Intolerance: Volunteer Scotland are working with SC VO to support volunteers and voluntary sector staff who are facing increas ing hostility\, intolerance and abuse in their work. We will be publishing practical guidance for the sector in the coming months.  Through this pr oject\, we aim to create safer\, more inclusive volunteer environments. A ddressing trustee recruitment and retention challenges: We will be working with partners to support charities and voluntary organisations to attract \, recruit and retain a diverse and skilled pool of trustees\, resulting i n stronger\, more stable governance. Inclusive Volunteer Pathways Project : This is a two-year development project that will test practical approach es to increasing equitable participation in volunteering across Scotland. Volunteer Scotland will work with a small number of community intermediary organisations and volunteer involving organisations to co-design\, implem ent and evaluate more inclusive volunteering pathways.   \n \n \n \n We will be exploring how volunteering can become more inclusive\, safe and accessible to everyone at our sold-out Volunteering Action Plan Conference: Bridging the Participation Gap on Tuesday 17th Nov ember 2026. In the policy space\, Volunteer Scotland are working to raise awareness of the health and wellbeing benefits of volunteering in the Scot tish Government’s prevention agenda and Public Service Reform strategy\, to help ensure equitable access.   Volunteer Scotland are creating a ne w Volunteer Development Network\, which will be a space for practitioners across Scotland to discuss how volunteering can become more inclusive\, sa fe and accessible to all.

Although Cameron is a writer who goes in search of paradox\, there is no contradiction here. Valuing humanity in these cynical times goes hand in hand with outrage at the behaviour of the powerful and the politicians who serve them. \nWe liv e in a period of insane and unforgiveable violence inflicted by the West o n defenceless civilians with all the force of modern military technology. Of all the recent wars\, however\, Gaza takes on even greater demonic prop ortions not seen since the Second World War. Even silence is culpable in s uch circumstances\, so the poet has reorganised the collection in order to underscore the horrors we are witnessing\, whilst not forgetting that thi s genocide has historical roots in the European colonisation of the rest o f the world\, particularly Africa\, America and Australia. \n  \nAbout Al lan Cameron  \nBorn in 1952\, Allan Cameron went to boarding school at th e age of six while also living in Nigeria and Bangladesh during holidays a nd\, though he is no fan of such institutions\, he found that it gave him a very sound education which compensated for the naval college he moved to in 1965. Mutual dislike prompted an early departure in 1968\, and after t hat he could once more pursue his education while trying out various occup ations for fifteen years in Italy and England – too many to list. This p art of his life could be defined as “down and out in London and Florence ”. In 1983 he went to Sussex University and afterwards taught there for five years without tenure. In 1992 after moving to Glasgow\, his first tra nslated book was published and he went on to translate twenty-eight more o f them. In 2004 and 2005\, his first two novels were published by Luath Pr ess. Since then two more novels\, two poetry collections and two non-ficti on works have been added to his published works. The Scottish Review of Bo oks summed up his output: “… there is … in Cameron’s work\, a ling ering spirituality\, a faith that something soulful and significant is pre sent in the everyday\, in the ordinary ‘heroism of mortals’ he writes of. … he is dubious about ‘progress’\, political\, economic and scie ntific. … if Scottish literature has a true outsider\, it is not Irvine Welsh\; it’s Allan Cameron.” \nAbout Vagabond Voices\n\nFounded in 200 8 and based in Glasgow\, Vagabond Voices is an independent publisher that is both Scottish and fervently European in its aims. Vagabond is committed to introducing new titles from Scottish authors and translating fiction f rom other languages.

With the depth of a classic history and the drama of a thriller\, 1929 unravels the gree d\, blind optimism\, and human folly that led to an era-defining collapse —one with ripple effects that still shape our society today.\n\nIn 1929\ , the world watched in shock as the unstoppable Wall Street bull market we nt into a freefall\, wiping out fortunes and igniting a depression that wo uld reshape a generation. But behind the flashing ticker tapes and panicke d traders\, another drama unfolded—one of visionaries and fraudsters\, t itans and dreamers\, euphoria and ruin.\n\nWith unparalleled access to his torical records and newly uncovered documents\, New York Times bestselling author Andrew Ross Sorkin takes readers inside the chaos of the crash\, b ehind the scenes of a raging battle between Wall Street and Washington and the larger-than-life characters whose ambition and naivete in an endless boom led to disaster. The dizzying highs and brutal lows of this era eeril y mirror today’s world—where markets soar\, political tensions mount\, and the fight over financial influence plays out once again.\n\nThis is n ot just a story about money. 1929 is a tale of power\, psychology\, and th e seductive illusion that “this time is different.” It’s about disre garded alarm bells\, financiers who fell from grace\, and skeptics who saw the crash coming—only to be dismissed until it was too late.\n\nHailed as a landmark book\, Too Big to Fail reimagined how financial crises are t old. Now\, with 1929\, Sorkin delivers an immersive\, electrifying account of the most pivotal market collapse of all time—with lessons that remai n as urgent as ever. More than just a history\, 1929 is a crucial blueprin t for understanding the cycles of speculation\, the forces that drive fina ncial upheaval\, and the warning signs we ignore at our peril.

The lates t Scottish Household Survey results for 2025 show an increase in overall v olunteer participation\, with 27% of adults in Scotland volunteering with a group\, club or organisation in the last year – this is an estimated 1 .25 million formal volunteers!  \n \n \n \n This is an increase from 25% in 2024 and means that the number of volunteers in Scotland increased by 267\,000 between 2024 and 2025. This is particularl y encouraging given that volunteer participation had dropped to a record l ow of 18% following the Covid-19 pandemic and cost-of-living crisis and su ggests that the recovery for Scotland’s voluntary sector is gathering mo mentum. In fact\, formal volunteer participation is now higher than it was immediately before the Covid-19 pandemic.  The results reveal that infor mal volunteering\, which is volunteering that happens outside of a group\, club or organisation\, has also increased for the first time since 2018. This means that\, together with formal volunteering\, over half (52%) of S cottish adults have volunteered in some capacity at least once in the last year.   While this overall increase in volunteer numbers is a worthy ca use for celebration\, the Scottish Household Survey data reveals that the inclusion gaps that emerged last year are persistent. Adults in Scotland ’s least deprived communities now volunteer at double the rate of those in the most deprived communities\, with a participation gap of 17 percenta ge points. There remains a worrying participation gap between disabled and non-disabled adults despite some improvements\, with a gap of 8 percentag e points (down from 10 percentage points in 2024)\, which remains signific antly higher than it was pre-pandemic (5 percentage points). A 12 percenta ge point gap now exists between the lowest and highest income groups.  In our State of Scottish Volunteering in 2025 report\,  we shared Carnegie UK’s research that being disabled and living in a deprived neighbourhood are the two factors most strongly associated with low wellbeing in Scotla nd. We know that volunteering delivers the greatest wellbeing gains for th ose who are most disadvantaged\, yet data from the two most recent Scottis h Household Surveys show that the gaps in volunteer participation mirror t hese broader societal inequalities. This means that the very people who st and the benefit the most from volunteering are currently benefiting the le ast. These results show us that inclusion and equity of access to formal v olunteer opportunities as well as having a positive experience while volun teering remain as priority challenges for the sector to address.    The 2025 Scottish Household Survey also confirms that the nature of formal vo lunteering in Scotland is changing. Ongoing data from the SCVO Third Secto r Tracker has shown us that the sector continues to struggle with voluntee r recruitment and retention despite an increasing number of third sector o rganisations reporting a greater number of volunteers. Today’s results h elp us understand why: volunteering is becoming less frequent and more low intensity. Together\, these shifts show that volunteers are increasingly giving smaller\, less regular amounts of time.   Today’s results\, the refore\, contain both encouragement and challenge for the sector\, and rei nforces Volunteer Scotland’s commitment to supporting inclusive and flex ible volunteering.  This blog highlights key findings on formal volunteer ing in 2025 from the data published on 17th September 2026 and compares re sults to 2024 findings. We will publish a more detailed analysis\, includi ng on informal volunteering and an estimated economic value of volunteerin g\, in the coming months.  \n \n \n \n Insights from the 2025 SHS data \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Key findings for formal volunteering:   For mal volunteering participation has continued to recover in 2025\, rising f rom 25% to 27%. This marks the second consecutive year of growth and bring s participation slightly above the pre–pandemic rate of 26% recorded in 2019. Scotland now has an estimated additional 267\,000 adults volunteerin g formally compared to last year. While this is a positive milestone\, the long-term trend still shows a fall from the 31% peak in 2010.  Voluntee ring is becoming less frequent and more low‑intensity. Regular voluntee ring (at least once a month) has fallen from 77% in 2022 to 70% in 2025\, while occasional volunteering (less than once a month) has increased from 23% in 2022 to 30% in 2025. Low‑intensity volunteering (five hours or l ess per month) has increased from 56% in 2022 to 58% in 2025\, while high ‑intensity volunteering (16 hours or more per month) remains stable at 1 8%.  Adults in Scotland’s least deprived communities (SIMD Q5: 34%) now volunteer at double the rate of those in the most deprived communities (SIMD Q1: 17%)\, widening the participation gap to 17 percentage points — the largest since 2019. The percentage of volunteers who fulfil comm ittee member and Trustee roles fell from 27% to 23%\, reflecting a well-re ported challenge in trustee recruitment and retention across the sector.    \n \n \n \n Formal volunteering demographics:   Age – Adults aged 35–59 saw the strongest growth\, increasing from 27% in 2024 to 30% in 2025\, now the highest‑participating age group. Yo unger adults (16–34) increased slightly from 24% to 25%\, continuing the ir gradual recovery. Adults aged 60 and over remained stable at 25%\, unch anged from 2024. Gender – Male participation increased from 24% to 27%\ , closing the gap with females\, whose participation remained stable at 27 %. For the first time in several years\, gender differences in participati on have largely disappeared. Disability – Disabled adults saw a notable increase in participation\, rising from 18% to 21%. However\, non‑disab led adults also increased slightly (28% to 29%)\, meaning the participatio n gap remains substantial at eight percentage points. This continues the l ong‑term pattern of unequal access to volunteering. Ethnicity – Parti cipation increased across most ethnic groups. The largest rise was among a dults in the ‘White – Other’ category\, increasing seven percentage points to 31%. ‘White – Other British’ adults also saw strong growth (34% to 38%). Participation among ethnic minority groups remained stable at 26%. Net annual household income – adults with household incomes o ver £30\,000 saw an increase in participation from 29% in 2024 to 31% in 2025. Participation among lower‑income adults (earning up to £15\,000) remained unchanged at 19%. This differential change has widened the partic ipation gap between the lowest and highest income groups to 12 percentage points. Economic Status – Adults in employment continue to have the hig hest participation rate\, increasing from 26% to 29%. Participation among retired adults remained stable at 25%\, while adults with ‘other’ econ omic status increased slightly to 23%. Geography – Geographical diffe rences have sharpened. Participation in remote rural areas increased signi ficantly to 40%\, and accessible rural areas rose to 35%. Remote small tow ns also saw strong growth (23% to 31%). In contrast\, participation in lar ge urban areas fell from 26% to 24%\, widening the rural–urban gap.  \n \n \n \n Formal volunteer activities:  ‘Local community/neighbourhood’ remains the most common type of volunteering\, increasing from 24% in 2024 to 26% in 2025. ‘Children’s education and schools’ saw the biggest rise\, increasing from 14% to 18%. ‘Youth o r children’s activities outside school’ decreased\, falling from 21% t o 19%. Volunteering in ‘Politics’ (3%)\, ‘Emergency services\, firs t aid and public safety’ (3%)\, ‘Culture and heritage’ (7%)\, and ‘Adult guidance\, advice and learning’ (5%) remained static between 20 24 and 2025. Most other sectors increased\, including environmental prote ction (6% to 7%)\, physical activity\, sport and exercise (17% to 19%)\, a nimal welfare (4% to 5%)\, groups supporting older people (6% to 7%)\, and health\, disability and wellbeing (13% to 14%).  \n \n \n \n Types of formal volunteering roles  ‘Generally helping out as required’ remains the most common volunteer role\, increasing slight ly from 54% to 55%. Fundraising (18% to 20%)\, transporting people or thi ngs (9% to 11%)\, and campaigning (4% to 6%) saw the largest increases. Vi siting\, buddying or befriending also increased\, rising from 8% to 10%. P roviding education\, training or coaching increased from 22% to 23%\, and providing advice\, support or advocacy increased from 12% to 13%. Office or administrative work decreased from 19% to 15%\, and smaller decreases w ere seen in promotion and marketing (9% to 8%) and counselling (5% to 4%).   \n \n \n \n Inclusive volunteering remains a priori ty \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n These headline findings emphasise the importance of the Sco ttish voluntary sector’s ongoing efforts to promote inclusive volunteeri ng. Through the Volunteering Action Plan\, we aim to create a Scotland whe re everyone can volunteer\, more often\, and throughout their lives.  Las t year\, Volunteer Scotland hosted nine roundtable events on ‘Bridging t he Participation Gap’\, engaging 180 stakeholders\, including volunteers \, the practice community (such as volunteer-involving organisations and v olunteer managers)\, and enablers such as policymakers and funders. The th emes from the Bridging the Participation Gap roundtable series have shaped Volunteer Scotland’s ongoing work to support inclusive volunteering.  Responding to the themes\, our work includes three priority projects:  Na vigating Hostility and Intolerance: Volunteer Scotland are working with SC VO to support volunteers and voluntary sector staff who are facing increas ing hostility\, intolerance and abuse in their work. We will be publishing practical guidance for the sector in the coming months.  Through this pr oject\, we aim to create safer\, more inclusive volunteer environments. A ddressing trustee recruitment and retention challenges: We will be working with partners to support charities and voluntary organisations to attract \, recruit and retain a diverse and skilled pool of trustees\, resulting i n stronger\, more stable governance. Inclusive Volunteer Pathways Project : This is a two-year development project that will test practical approach es to increasing equitable participation in volunteering across Scotland. Volunteer Scotland will work with a small number of community intermediary organisations and volunteer involving organisations to co-design\, implem ent and evaluate more inclusive volunteering pathways.   \n \n \n \n We will be exploring how volunteering can become more inclusive\, safe and accessible to everyone at our sold-out Volunteering Action Plan Conference: Bridging the Participation Gap on Tuesday 17th Nov ember 2026. In the policy space\, Volunteer Scotland are working to raise awareness of the health and wellbeing benefits of volunteering in the Scot tish Government’s prevention agenda and Public Service Reform strategy\, to help ensure equitable access.   Volunteer Scotland are creating a ne w Volunteer Development Network\, which will be a space for practitioners across Scotland to discuss how volunteering can become more inclusive\, sa fe and accessible to all. To help shape the Network\, share your views: Ha ve Your Say: Scotland’s New Volunteer Development Network  For practica l advice\, guidance and training on how to make your volunteering programm e more inclusive\, check out the Knowledge Gateway. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Debbie MaltmanResearch Officer \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Bethany SikesResearch & P olicy Manager \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n PrevPrevious LAST-MODIFIED:20260918T001704Z LOCATION:Online via Zoom URL:https://www.volunteerscotland.net/event/am-i-making-the-right-decision -sept?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=edinburgh-scotla nd X-SOURCE-NAME:Volunteer Scotland X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.volunteerscotland.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Open Silent Meditation DTSTART:20260923T163000Z DTEND:20260923T170000Z DTSTAMP:20260914T181746Z UID:10036852-1790184600-1790186400@www.salisburycentre.org CATEGORIES:wellness DESCRIPTION:The Salisbury Centre is offering a welcoming space for silent community meditation every weekday\n\nIn the morning at 8:00 – 8:30 am\, and\nIn the afternoon at 5:30 – 6:00 pm.\n\nAdditionally\, there is a m editation every Friday from 12:00 to 12:45 pm. \nThese meditations are non -denominational and accessible to all\; no experience is needed.

This circle is offered through The Salisbury Centre’s communi ty programme. \nParticipation in a Symbolic Space Circle allows individual s to experience a way of exploring their intentions and connections with t he self and the world. \nA Symbolic Space Circle offers an opportunity to explore a relationship with a creative\, spiritual\, or everyday-life situ ation\, a goal\, or an intention\, using bodily awareness and movement in space. This may help activate forms of perception\, association\, and proc essing that are not easily available to conscious thinking alone. \nThe ci rcle begins with a grounding exercise. Then an individual or group intenti on is formulated. Sharing an individual intention with the circle is optio nal. \nEach session is adapted to the formulated intention(s). Guidance fo r a session consists of prompts or a series of simple\, non-suggestive que stions. Usually\, the goal is to externalise the intention and the situati on surrounding it\, and to explore a relationship with them through feelin g into bodily sensations\, becoming aware of any images and associations c oming to mind\, working with provided objects\, and/or moving through the space of the room. The process might be individual or involve a group dyna mic\, depending on the intention(s). \nOptional sharing is done throughout the session. \n  \nFacilitator\nEkaterina Shurkova\, PhD\, facilitates t his circle as a volunteer at The Salisbury Centre. She developed the Symbo lic Space approach\, drawing on her background in cognitive neuroscience a nd her interest in how people connect with the world: how we learn\, play\ , communicate\, solve problems\, and change our minds. \nIn this circle\, Ekaterina brings together creative problem solving\, relational ways of se eing\, and the role of symbols\, metaphors\, and spatial awareness in refl ective practice. \n  \nPractical Information\nThe circle is limited to 6 participants. Please make sure to book your place through Eventbrite. \nPl ease arrive on time. As the session begins with grounding\, the door will close a few minutes after the start time. Unfortunately\, late arrivals ca nnot be admitted once the session has begun. \n  \nDetails\nWhen: 9 July – 24 September\, fortnightly on Thursdays\, 15:00-17:00 \nHow to attend: please book your place via the Eventbrite link \nRoom: Studio \n  \nCont act Info\nWith any questions\, please email info@symbolicspace.site. \n  \nDonations\nDonate when booking your space via the Eventbrite link.

Free. For 18-30s.  \nInviting participants to respond to Eva Rothschild’s sculpture series Soft Play and film Safe\ , 2026\, this porcelain handbuilding workshop will make use of intuitive a nd embodied sculpting methods to create playful\, abstract sculptures.  \ nWe often associate porcelain with fragility\, as well as a gendered and r acialised performance of femininity. But in its wet clay state\, it is sof t\, slippery\, and highly malleable. Drawing on Rothschild’s thinking ab out gendered modes of engaging with objects in public space\, we’ll shap e and stretch wet porcelain to create emotional artefacts of ‘gender per formance’ and bodily experience. We’ll think about queerness\, masculi nity\, and femininity\, finding potential for gender disobedience and play in experiencing the soft and slippery. \nAs tactility comes to the fore\, participants are encouraged to respond more to feeling than an attempt to create pre-existing forms\; the potential structural collapse of these ob jects can become interesting stories to tell\, too. At the end of the work shop\, we’ll stage a mini exhibition of our work\, plotting our objects in space together.  \nThis workshop especially welcomes queer and trans p articipants.  \nXuanlin Tham is a Singaporean writer\, curator\, and make r based in Edinburgh\, keenly interested in the (collective) body and desi re.

This new selection reveals Edwin Morgan’s groundbr eaking multimedia poetics beyond his celebrated lyric voice. With editors Greg Thomas and Julie Johnstone\, poets Iona Lee and Dan Power\, and Morga n’s publisher\, bibliographer and friend\, Hamish Whyte. \nEdwin Morgan is best remembered as Scotland’s foremost national poet\, a bold\, lyric voice who shaped conversations around queerness\, politics and post-war l ife. But Morgan was also a restless experimenter working far beyond tradit ional verse. This book brings together\, for the first time\, the full ran ge of his visual and sound poetry – from vibrant poster poems and surrea list collages to concrete poetry\, cut-ups and sonic permutations. It reve als Morgan as a major figure in twentieth-century multimedia art\, linking language\, image and sound in surprising and timely ways. Attuned to ques tions of identity\, ecology and empire\, Morgan’s work remains as urgent and inventive as ever – a celebration of poetic form at its most expans ive and alive. \n––––––––––––––––––– –––––––––––––––––––––––– –––––––––––––––––––––––– –––––––––––––– \nGreg Thomas is a writer\, cri tic\, poet and artist based in Glasgow\, Scotland. He is the author of Bor der Blurs: Concrete Poetry in England and Scotland (2019) and has written extensively on visual and concrete poetries\, text art and multimedia art. \nJulie Johnstone is an artist\, curator\, editor and publisher based in Edinburgh\, Scotland. She works primarily in the artists’ book form and her bookworks are in numerous national collections. She was previously Hea d Librarian at the Scottish Poetry Library and established and curated the Edwin Morgan Archive held there. www.juliejohnstone.com \nHamish Whyte wa s born in 1947 near Glasgow where he lived before moving to Edinburgh in 2 004. A former librarian and Honorary Research Fellow in Scottish Literatur e at the University of Glasgow. Shoestring Press has published five collec tions\, the latest being A Spell of Watching: New & Selected Poems (2024 ).

Da n can be found on Instagram @therealdanpower\, or at danpower.xyz. \nAdva nced reviews: \nEdwin Morgan’s is the kind of poetry I want. A Home in Space is a multiverse chock full of concrete word-patterning\, sound-ups a nd cut-ups\, galaxies and constellations\, collages\, overlays\, typograph ic arrays\, acoustic riffs\, lettrist elations and noncesensical confabula tions\, graphic designs\, ur-computer inventions\, and iconoclastic ads an d icons. Greg Thomas and Julie Johnstone’s detailed\, historically infor mative\, and discerning introduction sets the stage for Morgan’s verbo-v isual-vocal – patalexical! polychromatic! – lollapalooza of a book.\nC harles Bernstein\, Donald T. Regan Professor Emeritus of English and Compa rative Literature\, University of Pennsylvania \nThis eagerly awaited stud y is a veritable triumph. Greg Thomas’s fine introduction ranges seamles sly over the intricate details of Morgan’s multifaceted career as a poet . The decision to reproduce many of the poetic texts in the versions that Morgan himself devised enhances the book’s historical importance.\nSteph en Bann\, Emeritus Professor of History of Art\, University of Bristol\, a nd editor of Concrete Poetry: An International Anthology (1967) \nA Home i n Space is a fantastic presentation of the extensive work of the Scottish visual/concrete poet Edwin Morgan. Greg Thomas and Julie Johnstone have cr eated an artfully curated volume that showcases the many dimensions of Mor gan’s practice – from his early scrapbooks through his explorations of typewriter\, graphic\, visual poetics in various media. Thomas’s initia l essay situates Morgan’s work in the context of twentieth-century liter ary activity\, making the case once and for all that visual poetry was a c entral – rather than marginal – component of modern aesthetics. For th ose unfamiliar with the poet\, this is a terrific introduction and\, for t hose already fans\, the book is an opportunity to appreciate the range and variety of Morgan’s thought and expression. So much of his work is scat tered and distributed in different venues and repositories and circulated in niche networks that the sheer effort of locating\, selecting and collat ing this collection is admirable. It’s such a pleasure to see the combin ation of solid research and beautifully designed publication honouring Mor gan’s creative spirit.\nJohanna Drucker\, author of Affluvia: The Toxic Off-Gassing of Affluent Culture (2025) and Inventing the Alphabet (2022) \ nThis is a marvellous book\, revealing for the first time the full range o f generous wit with which Edwin Morgan wrote radical new poetries. Here\, indeed\, are oodles of thrillingly self-estranging technical experiment an d much avant-garde mischief.\nDrew Milne\, Judith E.
