On Friday the 6th of December Link Living are hosting a bake sale at their 3rd floor office (next to the library) in St Margaret’s House between 3pm and 5pm.
All goods will be baked and served by their volunteers who are vulnerable young people between the ages of 16-25 who used to or still engage with support at LinkLiving, and who now also help us with our courses, peer education and mentoring in schools and other events.
All of the money raised will be used to pay for training, events and other things that will help the personal development of their young people.
Pop along for some tasty afternoon treats!

Go with your feelings – and embrace the sheer joy of these works – Giles Sutherland – The Times – 2017
Expect to be challenged, emotionally touched and frequently amused – Vivien Devlin – ArtMag – 2017
I’m sure this vivacious and engaging woman will continue to produce more evocative collections – Phyllis McLeish – Ayrshire Magazine 2016
Coming Alive is a new body of work by Edinburgh-based artist, Alice Boyle. For many years, Boyle has sketched after daily meditation, creating odd and often distorted creatures that come streaming to mind as soon as the pencil hits the paper. In the spring of 2018 she decided to bring these characters to life, creating a unique world that is as strange as it is familiar.
Boyle’s new work has been inspired by the title of the artist’s previous exhibition, ‘Think Less, Feel More’. While her past show was a comment on the relationship between thinking and feeling and what that might look like, here, Alice has chosen to take a less complex approach, and run with an idea that felt powerful yet simple.

Key Information:
I am a textile designer looking for someone to share my 5th floor studio. I will only be using it to store art equipment, and access it once a week to collect things, so you will have sole use 7 days a week! It is sunny and tidy, with new flooring, and has a desk, shelves and storage space.
