Please join us for the multi-voiced and echoing launch of these dream poems into the wor ld. \nReaders will include:\nTessa Berring\, Anne Laure Coxam\, Lynn David son\, Harry Josephine Giles\, Jane Goldman\, Marjorie Lotfi\, Saskia McCra cken\, Jane McKie\, Theresa Muñoz\, Catherine Street\, Alice Tarbuck\, J L Williams and Karen McCarthy Woolf. \nAbout the collection:\nSince huma ns first put stone on stone to build a shelter\, the creation of architect ure has been a means to survival\, a key to engendering family and communi ty – and more\, an expression of our aspirations and desires. What land we choose to build our homes on\, what soil is good soil for calling home\ , how we care for our loved ones and our land… these are some of the ear liest questions asked by humans\, and ones we still consider and fight ove r today. \nJL Williams wrote the poems in this collection over the past fi ve years. In the isolated\, claustrophobic depths of the Covid pandemic an d the initial year of life with her daughter\, she woke almost nightly fro m intense dreams\, each dream being the exploration of a building\, enviro nment or architectural site. The poems are records of these dreams\, which continued for years\, seemingly stemming from a need to explore when expl oration was forbidden\, a longing for bigger spaces\, other places\, other people\, other lives and the forging of new identities. \nThe poems expos e dreams as time machines\, portals that allow us to travel in every direc tion\, inside ourselves and far beyond into the past and future\, into the psyche and the heart. \nAbout JL Williams\nJL Williams is a contemporary poet and librettist whose work explores themes of myth\, metaphysics\, nat ure and the human experience through a lyrical and often superreal lens. B orn in New Jersey\, USA\, and based in Edinburgh\, Scotland\, Williams has a strong international presence\, blending American and Scottish literary traditions with a distinctive voice that often challenges and expands the boundaries of poetry. Her poetry collections include Condition of Fire (2 004)\, Locust and Marlin (2014)\, After Economy (2017)\, Origin (2022) and Strange Architectures (2026)\, which have garnered critical acclaim for t heir vivid imagery\, emotional depth\, and innovative use of form. www.jlw illiamspoetry.co.uk. On Instagram @jlwpoetry \nAbout 12\n12  is a collect ive of women writers using a shared Google document to post monthly poems in response to one another’s writing. The collective originally formed i n 2016 at the request of Sophia Hao\, curator at Cooper Gallery in Dundee\ , in order to create work echoing the collaborative Feministo Postal Art Event of 1975-77. For that project\, women made art at home and posted it to one another\, generating home-based art collections and a tight-knit c ommunity of women artists. \n\nThe poets in the collective so enjoyed writ ing in a safe and easily accessible space\, with a simple constraint and s upport garnered from working alongside and in response to one another’s creativity\, that they decided to continue. One poet writes a lead poem ea ch month and the others each post a response. https://12poetry.wordpress.c om/ \n\nQuotes about the Collection\nThis tour through Piranesian dreamwor lds is also a tour through collective desire. With a subtle clarity\, Jenn ifer Williams shows how our fears and longings manifest in architectural f antasies: the dream home\, the model workplace\, the palace of wonders. Th e buildings of these tense lyrics are at once familiar and disturbing\, th e way an influencer’s aspirational feed betrays what’s bloodthirsty ab out want. Where one poem comforts or pleases\, another unsettles\, and ano ther confuses\, because in this oneiric logic feelings flow with less reas on and more truth. By pursuing her own obsessions with skilful and restrai ned poetic commitment\, Williams has made a very personal map that anyone can\, and should\, follow in order to find themselves lost.\nHarry Josephi ne Giles \nLike Italo Calvino’s invisible cities\, these oneiric archite ctures rise up revealing a glimmering imagination. The visually compelling constructions in these poems possess a beauty that can be subtly unsettli ng in its materials\, proportions\, or the relationships or emotions hidde n within. At a time when our eyes are already jaded from the remixed possi bilities of AI-generated imagery\, this intriguing collection is balm for the inner eye\, offering an expansive poetics of space as well as an invit ation to take in a sharper and more intricate view of the details around u s\, and savour the questions about our ways of inhabiting.\nJuana Adcock \ nJennifer constructs cities and skylines of words\, inviting us to live wi thin their shelter and syllables. Her poem-architectures are exact ambigui ties\, precisely lit from every angle of language and geometry to pinpoint each space\, each proportion.\nIain Matheson LAST-MODIFIED:20260916T121353Z URL:https://www.fruitmarket.co.uk/event/strange-architectures-book-launch/ ?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=edinburgh-scotland X-SOURCE-NAME:Fruitmarket X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.fruitmarket.co.uk/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Wednesday cEDH Night DTSTART:20261007T180000Z DTEND:20261007T220000Z DTSTAMP:20260917T184719Z UID:event_316599712@meetup.com CATEGORIES:gaming DESCRIPTION:Edinburgh Magic the Gathering\nPotions & Rations graciously ho st us each **Wednesday**\, attendee must purchase food and/or drinks on th e night to support them.

Her work has been published in Gutter\, Poetry Wales\, and Voiceworks\, as wel l as by Bloomsbury\, 404Ink and Arachne Press\, amongst others.

Loud\, fast and unapologetically direct\, it bridged the gap between pub rock grit an d the belligerent first wave of punk.  To celebrate the milestone\, found ing drummer Steve Nicol returns to the kit\, driving the attack that made the band such a vital force in the late ’70s.  From sweat-soaked London pubs to stages across the US and Europe\, Eddie and the Hot Rods built a reputation on ferocious live shows that matched the moment and pushed it f orward.  For this special night\, the current Guardians of the Legacy - o n record and in reality - are joined by their original beat-keeper to rewi nd to 1976\, to when Eddie and the Hot Rods first kicked the door down wit h a sound that hit like a punch in the guts.  Support on the night comes from Threats\, frontline veterans of Scotland’s late ’70s punk explosi on. Inspired by the raw energy and defiance of pioneers like the Sex Pisto ls and The Clash\, the Dalkeith upstarts found their voice in the early ’80s when punk’s second wave hit with a harder edge\, burning intensit y and a more confrontational pulse. Their catalogue deals in street punk ’s core currency - raw guitars\, shouted truths and zero compromise. Tra cks like Go to Hell and Politicians and Ministers are biting two-minute ma nifestos aimed at authority and self-serving power. Pacivity is a sharp sl ap at complacency\, while Underground Army is a defiant reminder that stre et punk still matters.From opening the legendary Gathering of the Clans at the Glasgow Apollo in 1982 to a live set recorded at New York’s CBGB’ s in 2002\, Threats carry unquestioned pedigree. They don’t just play pu nk - they live it. If you believe punk should still feel dangerous\, Threa ts are the weapon lying on the table. Promoted by Big Fish Gigs.

Th e heat softens the body\, while sound supports the nervous system to shift into rest and awareness. \nOnce the sound journey comes to a close\, you ’re welcome to step down to the cove for a cold dip… a refreshing cont rast that brings circulation alive and feels especially great after the he at and sound. \nFinally\, we’ll be warming up together around the fire\, sharing a cup of ceremonial cacao\, taking space to land\, chat\, and int egrate the experience. \nNo experience with sound journeys\, breathwork\, or cacao is needed.

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.

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/cva-info-session-oct?utm_sourc e=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=edinburgh-scotland X-SOURCE-NAME:Volunteer Scotland X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.volunteerscotland.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Yoga for Arthritis and Chronic Pain DTSTART:20261020T170000Z DTEND:20261020T180000Z DTSTAMP:20260819T181407Z UID:11035@scot-art.co.uk CATEGORIES:wellness DESCRIPTION:Mary from Bodhi Yoga Edinburgh runs gentle yoga classes for pe ople living with arthritis and chronic pain at St Margaret’s House.\nCla sses take place every Tuesday and Wednesday from 6–7pm.

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.
