UNEARTHED EDINBURGH PHOTO COMPETITION Edinburgh Libraries have launched a photography competition celebrating both Edinburgh’s green spaces and gardening as forces for creativity, resilience and connection. Photos can celebrate any green space in the city from the Meadows to your window box! The competition is free to enter and open to all. All entries should be submitted to www.edinburghcollected.org where they will become part of a community archive of Edinburgh memories. Photos should be accompanied by a description of what makes the picture special to you. Entries will be judged on both their photographic merit and the accompanying text. The deadline for entries is 31 July and book tokens will be awarded to the three winning entries.

FRESH START Many thanks for the recent donations of a vacuum cleaner, microwave, towels and kitchen equipment. Donations are always welcome and can be left on the Fresh Start table in the Kirk Hall at any time or delivered to the Fresh Start warehouse at 22-24 Ferry Road Drive from Mon–Thurs, 9 am – 4 pm.
