At the Council Chambers joining the @RippleRestalrig community and folk from other affected charities to demand that the council 'stop the cuts, save our services'. The @TheBinksHub stands with our comrades!
After 3 days and 200 visitors (folk from Restalrig&Lochend, friends from community organisations, Uni of Edinburgh staff & students, and many others besides) the @TheBinksHub & @RippleRestalrig Alternative Futures' exhibition at @DovecotStudios ended in smiles 😃
On 19 September, we hosted a ceremonial event to celebrate the building’s transition from the Old Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh to its current and future identity: a place of learning, research and community-building.

Yesterday we were honoured to attend @UoE_EFI's 'Recycling a Hospital' ceremony, where we explored the past and discussed our hopes and dreams for the future of this very special building. A very moving and powerful event, thanks to all involved including our own @JimmyAnthro ✨
We're thrilled to be collaborating with @RippleRestalrig on “Alternative Futures – Who Decides?”, telling the stories of the people of Lochend, Restalrig and Craigentinny through art

The exhibition explores the past, present and future of the local area. The first exhibit is an artistic timeline which traces some of the stories, events and memories of @RippleRestalrig and was designed together with staff, volunteers & community members
Our second exhibit is made up of three tapestries exploring the present, all by @RippleRestalrig director Rachel Green. The first (stunning!) tapestry is a personal exploration of Rachel’s life, using different colours to express different types of experiences.
Interested in making? Want to explore if we can better know our worlds through craft & artistic practices? Our next social cohesion chat on Weds 26 June 4-5pm BST will explore just this! Facilitated by @JimmyAnthro @ArtHealthWY & Pat Scrutton https://t.co/NLvSggAL1l @wrightl87
