"No ifs, no buts, no charity sector cuts"

[Jimmy Turner @JimmyAnthro]

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 😃

Blown away by the artworks produced by the local community at @RippleRestalrig - and by their hopes and vision for the area

[The Binks Hub @TheBinksHub]

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

[The Binks Hub @TheBinksHub]

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.
