The breakfast bothy is a meeting place where people experiencing financial hardship or homelessness can visit to get a warm breakfast, coffee, tea and good chat. We are a meeting place for good in the community. We aim to facilitate connections and services for our guests on an as-needed and request basis, such as counseling, haircuts, legal advice, etc.

The breakfast bothy was born under lockdown, and is part of the Carlowrie Castle family. With the team unable to engage in the normal events schedule, this project was ideal to promote community involvement, unite the team, and give back during a challenging time. In true Carlowrie style, the box has been restored, transformed, and repainted in day-glo yellow and orange by volunteers. The bothy also draws from experiences of Carlowrie Group Founder, Andrew Marshall's, charity RESTART. The charity was founded in 2009 to help people experiencing homelessness in London.

The aim going forward is to grow a community through this website and make the day-glo police box a community haven. We are looking for local businesses and volunteers in Edinburgh to offer services to the homeless community and we are open to all suggestions. Please contact info@carlowriecastle.co.uk and become part of the journey.

Join us to contribute, shape, and progress the breakfast bothy - individually or as an institution - and make a difference.

The E.ON Energy Fund has been set up to help the most vulnerable existing or previous customers of E.ON Energy

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The E.ON Next Energy Fund has been created to help our customers (including Sainsbury Energy) who are experiencing financial hardship and are struggling. There are two ways this fund can help and support you:

1. The first option is to help with paying your gas and electricity bills through grants, helping you to become financially stable and more importantly, getting you back in control of your finances.

To be considered for this help, you'll need to show that you're committed to being financially stable by making regular payments over a three-month period for ongoing usage before receiving an award.

The grants are awarded so that you can take control of your finances by clearing your household energy debts and to help you meet your future bills.

We use a three-month Provisional Award Scheme for grants. This means that to receive an award, you'll need to show your commitment to achieving financial sustainability by making payments for your current usage. Once we've let you know that you've been successful for a provisional award, you'll need to contact E.ON Next to set up a payment plan, check you're on the best tariff for you and chat through energy efficiency advice and support that could help you to reduce your bills in the future.

While you're making your ongoing payments, we'll suspend any debt. Then once you've made sufficient payments and the award is confirmed, the debt will be cleared. If however you don't keep up with the payments, the award will be withdrawn and the debt, together with any further debt which has accrued over the three months will remain.

2. The other option is to provide a replacement appliance such as a cooker, fridge, fridge-freezer or washing machine if yours has broken or poor condition.

For a grant towards bills

To complete your application, there are some details that we'll need from you like your E.ON Next account number and a recent meter reading so that we can make sure that the balance due is up to date. We may also need to ask for some of the following information:

Proof of all household income for yourself and anyone living with you for the current tax year.

All pages from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) stating your entitlement to a benefit and the amounts due to be paid for the current tax year.

Pension letters for State or private pensions.

Medical confirmation from the organisation that referred you to the fund or a medical DS1500 form or medical confirmation from a consultant or your doctor.

Please note all supporting evidence must be less than three months old with the exception of Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) annual benefit letters, for example, State Pension and Child Benefit letters. All documents must clearly show name and address details as well as the amounts currently being received for the current tax year.

To complete your application, you'll need to know your E.ON Next account number. Depending on your circumstances, we may ask you to show us:

Proof of all household income for yourself and anyone living with you, for the current tax year.

All pages from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) stating your entitlement to a benefit and the amounts due to be paid for the current tax year.

Pension letters for State or private pensions.

Medical confirmation from the organisation that referred you to the fund or a medical DS1500 form or medical confirmation from a consultant or your doctor.

Please note all supporting evidence must be less than three months old with the exception of Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) annual benefit letters, for example, State Pension and Child Benefit letters. All documents must clearly show name and address details as well as the amounts currently being received for the current tax year.

Information around the current condition of your white good(s).

The Fund recommends all applicants seek money advice before applying, to help negotiate with any other creditors and maximise welfare benefits and income.

Are you struggling to pay your ScottishPower debt?

You could qualify for help from the ScottishPower Hardship Fund if you're receiving

Income Support,

Job Seekers Allowance,

Pension Credit, or

Employment and Support Allowance

You could also qualify if you have a low household income, or if there are special circumstances which could make you eligible for example you have experienced an income reduction due to illness.

How the ScottishPower Hardship Fund can help

Because some customers have difficulties paying their bills due to low income or other circumstances, ScottishPower has a Hardship Fund to help them get their energy payments under control. The Fund can help by clearing or reducing arrears by crediting a customer's ScottishPower energy account.

Steps To Find Out If You Are Eligible

Step 1

Contact a recognised Debt Advice agency such as National Debtline*. They'll give you free, independent advice on money and debt, and advise you how to budget for your energy payments. They can provide further details of the ScottishPower Hardship Fund and advise if you should apply to Social Enterprise Direct who administer it on ScottishPower's behalf.

*Visit National Debtlineor call them on 0808 169 8780 lines open Monday to Friday 9am to 8pm, Saturday 9.30am to 1pm

Step 2

Apply to Social Enterprise Direct (SED)**, the independent organisation that administers the ScottishPower Hardship Fund. They will look at your circumstances and decide whether you are eligible to receive an award from the Fund towards your arrears. They will need evidence of financial hardship - for example, recent letters from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP).

**Visit www.SEDhardship.fundor call 0808 800 0128. Lines open Monday to Friday 8.30am to 8pm and Saturday 10am to 2pm.

How Awards are Paid

If SED decide you should receive a partial or full award towards the value of your arrears, your ScottishPower energy account will be credited with the award.

Awards will be paid once you commit to a payment arrangement for your ongoing energy use which will take into account the best payment and tariff options for your circumstances.

SED will write to you to confirm that any credit is applied to your account.

Stills School is an alternative photography school for 16-25 year olds who face barriers to accessing the arts. The school is free of charge. All materials and equipment are provided, and we can cover travel expenses too.
STAGE 1 | CONTACT:
Contact is an introductory 8 week photography course that will teach you basic photography skills as well as encourage you to develop your own projects. You don't need any experience in making photographs, just a passion for photography.

In a small group you will learn about different photographers and be supported to find your own style. Whether you prefer analogue or digital, we'll make sure you feel confident using your new skills. Everyone will have prints to take home or download at the end of the course.

Who should apply for CONTACT?
This is for young people aged 16-25 who face barriers to accessing the arts. We are looking for young people who are keen to try something new.

You will also be eligible to gain your Bronze Arts Award during Contact (but this is not mandatory). Find out more about the Bronze Award here.

If you have any questions about Contact or Stills School please do not hesitate to get in touch with Claire Cochrane at claire.cochrane@stills.org.

STAGE 2 | ACADEMY
Stills Academy is the perfect opportunity for you to take your photography to the next level. Over fifteen weeks you will have the opportunity to enhance your digital photography, refine darkroom skills and expand post-production knowledge. Whether you favour working in the darkroom or digitally, there's something for everyone.

The course has been split into four sections, each designed to fuel your creativity and inspire you to develop your own style:

Expand your knowledge of using manual settings on SLR cameras. Explore creative ways to put technical skills into practice.
Weeks 5 - 8: Darkroom
An opportunity to refresh your analogue skills including film processing, printing and looking at alternative printing techniques.
Weeks 9 - 12: Post Production
Using the Mac studios in Stills, you will have access to the Adobe Creative Suite, where you will learn how to enhance your images and use programmes to get your images print ready.
Weeks 13 - 15: Personal Research
The last block of the course will allow you to work on your own project, giving you the space to further explore an area of photography that you enjoy.

TAKING PART IN THE ACADEMY

To ensure a personalised approach we maintain a small class size, with a maximum of eight students. Priority will be given to those who have completed the Contact course, although we welcome applications from individuals with prior photography experience.

The course takes place in Stills; however, we have scheduled a 'self-led' session every four weeks where attendance in person is not mandatory. There may be occasional field trips for which you will be given plenty of advance notice.

The best part? The Stills Academy is free! All the necessary equipment and materials will be provided, so you can focus solely on honing your craft.

STILLS SCHOOL TUTORS
Stills Academy is tutored by Morwenna Kearsley. Morwenna is a visual artist working mainly with photography and video, often collaborating with other artists and non-artists via workshops and community arts projects. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, most recently at CCA Glasgow where she presented her solo exhibition "Leave the Dishes, Poke the Jelly". Much of her work focuses on the question: how are we changed by the images we consume?

Contact is tutored by and Joseph Wilson.

Zoe Hamill is a photographer from Co. Antrim, now living in Edinburgh. She is interested in the relationship between humans and the environment, as well as the systems of classification that we use to make sense of the world around us.

Joseph Wilson is a photographer from the North-East of England. He uses photography to explore interactions between perception, memory, and the material world through the sustained observation of the places and things which bear our trace. It is through this process that he asks of memory, of the world around us, and of photographs themselves: what is it that persists?

If you or someone you know is stuck at home over the next few weeks, we are here to help with these museum virtual tours that you can take from your sofa for free!

Obviously being stuck at home is not going to be the highlight of anyone's year... and there are many MANY other things to think about in terms of having enough groceries and other supplies for two weeks. But after the initial shock of having to stay home wears off, you will invariably be looking for ideas to keep yourself (and potentially your children) entertained.

Probably this is going to mean some attempt to stave off the boredom with a lot of Netflix, and a lot of browsing the internet.

But there is a way to get a little culture and education while you're confined to your home. There are literally over 500 museums and galleries around the world that have virtual tours and online exhibits of some of the most famous exhibits in their venues.

We have compiled our favourite virtual tours from around the world as well as the best of Brisbane and Australia.

Now, you get "go to the museum" without having to leave your sofa.

Virtual Tours from your sofa

The museums include the British Museum in London, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Guggenheim in New York City, and literally hundreds of more places where you can gain knowledge about art, history, and science. This collection is especially good for students who are looking for ways to stay on top of their studies while schools are closed.

Worldwide Virtual Tours

Take a look at just some of the top museums that are offering online tours and exhibits.

British Museum, London

This iconic museum located in the heart of London allows virtual visitors to tour the Great Court and discover the ancient Rosetta Stone and Egyptian mummies. You can also find hundreds of artifacts on the museum's virtual tour.

Guggenheim Museum, New York

Google's Street View feature lets visitors tour the Guggenheim's famous spiral staircase without ever leaving home. From there, you can discover incredible works of art from the Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, Modern and Contemporary eras. Check it out here.

National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.

This famous American art museum features two online exhibits through Google. The first is an exhibit of American fashion from 1740 to 1895, including many renderings of clothes from the colonial and Revolutionary eras. The second is a collection of works from Dutch Baroque painter Johannes Vermeer. You can see both exhibitions here.

Musée d'Orsay, Paris

You can virtually walk through this popular gallery that houses dozens of famous works from French artists who worked and lived between 1848 and 1914. Get a peek at artworks from Monet, Cézanne, and Gauguin, among others.

National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul

One of Korea's popular museums can be accessed from anywhere around the world. Google's virtual tour takes you through six floors of Contemporary art from Korea and all over the globe.

Pergamon Museum, Berlin

As one of Germany's largest museums, Pergamon has a lot to offer - even if you can't physically be there. This historical museum is home to plenty of ancient artifacts including the Ishtar Gate of Babylon and, of course, the Pergamon Altar. Discover it here.

Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

Explore the masterworks from the Dutch Golden Age, including works from Vermeer and Rembrandt. Google offers a Street View tour of this iconic museum, so you can feel as if you're actually wandering its halls. It really does!

Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam

Anyone who is a fan of this tragic, ingenious painter can see his works up close (or, almost up close) by virtually visiting this museum - the largest collection of artworks by Vincent van Gogh, including over 200 paintings, 500 drawings, and over 750 personal letters. This one is epic!

The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles

European artworks from as far back as the 8th Century can be found in this California art museum. Take a Street View tour to discover a huge collection of paintings, drawings, sculptures, manuscripts, and photographs.

Uffizi Gallery, Florence

This less well-known gallery houses the art collection of one of Florence, Italy's most famous families, the de'Medicis. The building was designed by Giorgio Vasari in 1560 specifically for Cosimo I de'Medici, but anyone can wander its halls from anywhere in the world.

MASP, São Paulo

The Museu de Arte de São Paulo is a non-profit and Brazil's first modern museum. Artworks placed on clear perspex frames make it seem like the artwork is hovering in midair. Take a virtual tour to experience the wondrous display for yourself.

The Louvre

With virtual tours of their Egyptian rooms, the remains of the Louvre's moat and Galerie d'Apollon you can take detailed tours of the Louvre on their website without the crowds!

Virtual tours around Australia

Australia was not left out when the virtual tours were being created! Check out our favourites!

Queensland Museum

The Queensland Museum had a Google employee visit in 2015 to create a virtual tour of our hometown museum. The museum has this easy to navigate virtual tour available right now!

Queensland Gallery of Modern Art

See the world from a new perspective at QAGOMA. Together, the Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art offer compelling experiences that will move and surprise you. Check out their virtual tour here.

Sydney Opera House

"It stands by itself as one of the indisputable masterpieces of human creativity, not only in the 20th century but in the history of humankind." Expert evaluation report to the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, 2007.

Walk around outside the Sydney Opera house here.

Always wanted to check out the inside? Click here.

Sydney Observatory

Hello, I'm Mr. Tyrese. I might be 15 years old but there's a lot I can teach you about British Sign Language (BSL). I've been using it for as long as I can remember because I'm Deaf with limited sight.

I'd love it if more people knew BSL, and while we're all indoors, it's the perfect time to bring your household together and learn something new.

Over the next five days, I'll teach you the basics in fun videos, sent straight into your inbox. I promise there will definitely NOT be a test, but by the end of the week, you'll know a whole new way to communicate - how cool is that?

This video is just a taster lesson, but I've got lots more useful and interesting signs to teach you. Just put in your email address and I'll bring a bit of fun to your inbox.

'FOOTPRINT' is a walking and cycling map + guide for East Edinburgh (Portobello, Leith) & Musselburgh with artist-led routes that intersect the urban with nature through the familiar and unfamiliar, encouraging everyday physical activity as a way to improve well being.

During 2019 five artists were commissioned to create a number of different routes & approaches to the navigating of our local landscapes - Chris Dooks, Alec Finlay, Deirdre Macleod, Holger Mohaupt, and Suzie Parry.

Our printed map + guide is now available detailing the artists' routes, as well as highlighting a range of places to walk and ride, to experience our rich local diverse habitats; from beaches, to edgelands, to cultural sites, and to the lost spaces of a past era, and the lesser visited outskirts of the city.

VIEW THE ARTIST PROJECTS FROM BELOW

Chris Dooks: 'Autopath'
Alec Finlay: 'The Minor Walk Manifesto'
Deirdre Macleod: 'Cul-de-sac'
Holger Mohaupt: 'Lost in Musselburgh'
Suzanne Parry: 'In my shoes'

The Full Map is available for downloading from below:

RELATED EVENTS HELD AS PART OF ART WALK PORTY 2019
CLAUDIA ZEISKE 'BREWSTER WIVES WALK'

Claudia Zeiske (Founder of Deveron Projects, Huntly) led a 'Brewster Wives Walk' from Portobello Beach to the top of Arthur's Seat. Claudia has made a name for her personal pilgrimages that link places special to ourselves with political, historic or anecdotal sites. In the past she walked from Home to Home, linking her home town of Huntly in Aberdeenshire with her childhood place near Munich where her mother still lives. Recently she undertook a three-country peace walk in the Balkan and creates annual thematic Slow Marathons linked to such topics as transport, energy or land use.

With a bottle of homebrew in her rucksack - for the ART WALK PORTY festival she recreated the 17th Century Brewster Wives Walk, leading from Portobello beach to the top of Arthur's Seat. Picnic with discussion about all things personal path making at the end.
JUDITH LAMB, Foraging Walk

Judith Lamb from Edinburgh Forage and Eat led a 1 hr foraging walk around Portobello's coastline identifying many of the edible ingredients around our shores. Later in the day at our Kiln stacking and Beach bonfire cooking event on Portobello Beach, Judith cooked up a rich array of locally inspired ingredients, working with artist Jenny Pope creating brick stacks for firing.

fr_nge: a responsive art project; providing a creative outlet and a tangible record of an international fringe community in uncharted waters.

The fr_nge project was created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the cancellation of the 2020 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The project's aim has been to showcase creative activity, and to celebrate on-going artistic expression in the absence of the world's largest open arts festival.

​

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe provides an important and integral cultural platform for creativity and freedom of expression in Scotland. As well as supporting an array of live performance productions, the festival period is a unique and valued time for sharing new ideas, engaging in discussions, and celebrating the achievements of an international creative community.

The fr_nge project began with a call-out for contributions to form a single printed publication; a creative catalogue that would document an uncertain period of time, and capture the artistic and ethereal aspects of fringe, in a physical and permanent way. Contributions were encouraged from artists and creatives at all levels, as well as punters, fringe goers, audience members and any who identify with the fringe community. The call-out response has been highly popular, and contributions have included an array of different artworks in various mediums and formats, such as spoken word, photography, puppetry, mixed media, and illustration.

To support the production of the final printed catalogue, the fr_nge project is currently organising an interactive art trail that will coincide with the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2021. The fr_nge art trail will showcase contributor's work, and create a free, interactive event for the public during the month of fringe.

​

Click below to find out more!

The fr_nge art trail will consist of 20 QR code posters, placed at numerous locations across Edinburgh. These locations will include cafes, museums, art galleries, bookshops, and of course, fringe venues! The scanned QR codes will lead users to the official fr_nge website, where they will find more information on artworks, as well as contributors, and venues.

​

Exclusive discounts and offers may also be available at specific venues!

​

Note: individual venues have unique opening times, and may have certain access restrictions. Please make sure to check online, or direct with venues before starting your adventure!

We have three trails that explore different areas
of Edinburgh.

Click below to view the different routes.

The production of the fr_nge project and art trail is a collaboration between fr_nge and graphic design students at DJCAD. The students have engaged with the project as part of their coursework, and have provided invaluable creative assistance from design through to delivery.

The fringe project aims to produce a creative catalogue, that will document an uncertain period of time and capture the artistic and ethereal aspects of fringe, in a physical and permanent way.

The fr_nge project is not-for-profit, and is run by a team of dedicated volunteers. The project was created to provide creatives of all fields, levels and background with an opportunity to showcase their work in the absence of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2020.

​

To support the artists, and the production of the final fr_nge catalogue, we are asking for any donations you are able to make (big or small). All donations will go directly to the catalogue production, and will make a huge difference to the feasibility of the project. Any remaining funds (post-production), will be split equally between all artists and creative contributors.

​

As a thank you for your support, any donation over £5 will get your name printed in the final fr_nge catalogue!

Thank you for donating!

Below you will find a list of all the people who contributed to the fr_nge project, and the information you'll need to support your favourites.

Please feel free to get in touch with questions or requests for further information, we'd love to hear
from you!

What can you do?

1. Join your local tool library, rather than buying new.

2. Check out YouTube and Pinterest for 'How to' videos and ideas.

3. Leftover paint? Save it for your next upcycling project.

4. Not confident in your skills? Find your nearest repair cafe.

Easy upcycling ideas...

Turn your old furniture into a one-off piece using chalk paint, stencils or even wallpaper to match a new colour scheme while soft furnishings can be given a new lease of life by re-upholstering or adding upcycled cushion covers. Be on the look out for old unwanted wood, such as pallets, which can be turned into all manner of things from a compost bin to raised beds and even shelving.

When it comes to your wardrobe, upcycling your clothes can give them a whole new look (and cover up holes!) - visible mending, patches, or adding some bling can make you fall in love with those old clothes all over again.

In 1962 we placed a volunteer in Glasgow, supporting young people in need. He became our first Full-Time Volunteer and so Scotland became the birthplace of one of our flagship programmes.

Nearly sixty years later, we continue to run high impact volunteering programmes across Scotland: from befriending projects supporting young people, mentoring projects to help families in challenging circumstances and volunteer-led projects that keep older, retired people engaged in their communities.

In April 2021 Volunteering Matters merged with ProjectScotland so that more people in local communities can be supported to overcome the challenges they may face. And more young people in Scotland and elsewhere in the UK will be supported by volunteers to overcome any barriers in their way, developing their confidence and skills to unlock their potential.

Our combined approach provides a platform for volunteers, young people and communities to challenge existing structures and work with decision-makers to overcome barriers and inequalities.

Across the Volunteering Matters family - including ProjectScotland, Get The Gen, Employee Volunteering and #iwill - we turn local knowledge and energy into action and progress, building stronger communities and a better future for all.

TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT VOLUNTEERING IN SCOTLAND, GET IN TOUCH

Grandmentors Midlothian is an innovative volunteering project where older volunteers use their life experience and skills, to support and mentor care experienced young people, or young people with barriers to achievement.

Volunteer mentoring opportunities across the 'Wee County', supporting young people aged 15-18.

Our Volunteers Supporting Families in Edinburgh project offers practical and emotional support to families across the South East and South West localities of Edinburgh, empowering them to face a range of life challenges.

Through volunteering and social action, we have helped to reduce inequalities and social isolation to build a stronger, more inclusive Scotland.

Help reduce fashion waste and extend the lifetime of your wardrobe using our handy pack of recipe cards

Introduction

Ever wondered what the symbols in washing labels mean? Ever thrown out a favourite jumper just because it had one tiny hole? Our Sewing Box for the Future exhibition responds to questions like these by inviting you to get stuck into a range of practical sewing activities.

Buying less and ensuring the clothes we already have last longer is one important way we can all help to reduce fashion waste.

The recipe cards below include some simple suggestions for how to do this. They are split into 3 themes: Care, Repair and Customise.

Hemming trousers or darning a sock might seem time-consuming or overwhelming at first, but with a needle and thread and a few guiding principles, it is possible to update and extend the life of your wardrobe in a sustainable, responsible way.

Download the cards, have a go at home and let us know how you get on. Share your projects with us using #FutureSewingBox ✂️ Your submissions might even feature on the screen in our exhibition!

Instructional videos coming soon!

Too many clothes end up in landfill before they need to because of over-washing or washing disasters.

Become an expert at clothes care symbols or learn how to revitalise your wardrobe with the downloadable cards below.

Share your projects with us using #FutureSewingBox

Mending a hole can take only minutes but can extend the lifetime of your garment for many years. If you repair in a visible way you can add to the garment's story and wear your darn as a badge of honour.

Download the cards below to learn how to darn or needle-felt a hole, how to sew on a button and replace a zip.

Share your projects with us using #FutureSewingBox

From downloadable modular garment patterns to hemming your jeans or creating an embellishment, customising something you already have is a sustainable way to update your wardrobe.

Find out how by downloading the cards below.

Stitch-School

In February and March 2020 we hosted Stitch-School in the museum. Visitors sat around a communal table and embroidered patterns onto two dresses using a simple set of instructions. Experience and skill may have varied, but good conversation and encouragement were consistent! A final dress will be sent out of the museum to be stitched in a community setting.

The dress pattern we've used is one of two created by Alice & Co Patterns for V&A South Kensington. The patterns are open-source so you can have a go at sewing your own. Download them from V&A South Kensington's website below.

Helpful and reassuring

After consulting a debt help agency I was put in touch with Payplan and thereafter they arranged for me to enter into an IVA. This has been running now for several months and has worked very well for me. I had been under tremendous strain because of my debt situation and I am now able to manage my finances without the constant stress and worry which I suffered previously. Payplan explained all of the options open to me; the staff were always helpful and reassuring and guided me through the entire process. I would recommend Payplan to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation to myself.

Please note that our services are provided on a referral only basis for those who are in extreme financial crisis and have no other way of accessing food.

There are a number of health issues that should be identified in the referral process: click here If anyone has any of these health conditions, please state their health condition on the referral in the notes section, and phone our office ( 0131-225-9445) to discuss the referral with us.
Anyone with a cough or fever should not, under any circumstances, attend a Foodbank+.
Online Referrals

If you have already registered as a referral agent, you may access the system via the Referral Login button below. If you have not yet registered, please take a moment to do so via the Register button.
