DESCRIPTION:18 to 27 September\, 11am to 5pm\n\nOpening event: Thursday 1
 7 September\, 6-8pm\n\nEveryone welcome! \n\nJi Yoon Lee is a multidiscip
 linary artist. This new work examines how digital technology impacts our b
 odies\, exploring the tension between the physical and virtual realities\,
  as well as the profound sense of absence.\n\nCeramic body fragments resem
 ble shed clothing\, a crouched figure is painted trapped within a grid\, a
 nd virtual body modification services created using AI programmes\, vividl
 y expose the fractures that digital media technology inflicts on our perce
 ption.\n\n"As we grow accustomed to the relentless speed of technology\, o
 ur bodies by comparison\, increasingly feel like a burden or frustrate us.
  Media technology paralyses our senses with dazzling performances that lea
 ve us no room to breathe\, ultimately rendering us addicted."\n\nThis new 
 body of work is generously supported by a VACMA (Visual Arts and Crafts Ma
 kers Awards) bursary and the ESW Members Exhibiting Bursary from Edinburgh
  Sculpture Workshop.\n\nSee you there!

DESCRIPTION:17th September 2026 								\n				\n				\n				\n					Scottish 
 Household Survey (SHS) 2025 Results: Volunteer participation is up\, but i
 nclusion gaps remain				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n				
 		\n				\n				\n				\n									Volunteer Scotland welcomes evidence that o
 verall volunteer participation in Scotland is continuing to recover\, but 
 notes that there are concerning trends for the sector to tackle. 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

DESCRIPTION:Intermediate Iyengar Yoga class\n\nThis class is suitable for 
 those with previous yoga experience\, who feel ready to take their underst
 anding of yoga to a deeper level.  You should be familiar with the basic a
 sanas\, including Sarvangasana (shoulder stand). If you are uncertain if t
 his level is appropriate for you\, please contact Lucy on iyogannowstudio@
 gmail.com to discuss your options. \n\nWe do introduce a wider range of as
 ana at this level\, including more inversions\, including Adho Mukha Vrksa
 sana (handstand). However\, the main difference between Intermediate and B
 eginners level is an introduction to a subtler level of understanding in t
 he body. We begin to make more connections between actions in one part of 
 the body and consequences in another\, we explore the relationship between
  body\, breath and mind and pranayama is introduced. We need a basic level
  of strength and stability in our practice to work at this level.\n\nYou a
 re welcome to join this class at any point but regular attendance is encou
 raged to ensure progression.\n\nTo book your place\, select your first cla
 ss on the Timetable page of the Yoga Now website and follow the instructio
 ns to register and pay.\nhttps://www.yoganowstudio.co.uk/timetable/\n\nPle

CATEGORIES:literary
DESCRIPTION:22.09.26. 6.30–8pm \nWhilst indignation saturates Allan Came
 ron’s third collection\, Things Can Only Get Worse\, whose title is a re
 minder of Tony Blair’s unkept promises before his first mandate which le
 d us into another NATO war of aggression aimed at terrorising peoples and 
 purloining the property of other nations\, this collection also praises th
 e humanity of the great majority of people everywhere. 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. Our library reflects our aims to promote literary amb
 ition and innovative writers\, and to challenge readers.

SUMMARY:1929: Inside the Crash (Andrew Ross Sorkin)

DESCRIPTION:Bonanza Non-fiction Book Club\nNB This may get moved to Octobe
 r\n\n**1929: Inside the Crash (Andrew Ross Sorkin)**\n\n*A New York Times 
 Bestseller*\n\nFrom the bestselling author of Too Big to Fail\, “the def
 initive history of the 2008 banking crisis\,”\\* comes a spellbinding na
 rrative of the most infamous stock market crash in history. 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.
