Firstly, Gorgie City Farm, a wonderful community resource where local families can connect with farm animals and vulnerable youngsters get valuable work experience, has been threatened with closure. The liquidators have already been called in, but a group of former farm employees have got together to campaign to keep the farm open. You can donate via their Go Fund Me page here. They need £100, 000 and have already raised over £30,000 in less than 34 hours. Please consider supporting this wonderful resource in a built up area of Edinburgh.

Secondly, I posted yesterday about the Figgate Park calendar, which is raising vital funds for the Friends of Figgate Park to maintain this beautiful park between Edinburgh and Portobello. I'm delighted that one of my photos has been chosen to feature on the inside cover

Thanks for both these updates.
All the best Jan
Beautiful photos.
It is discouraging that the liquidators move so swiftly to close even social media access to what is obviously a very worthwhile operation. I hope that a way is found to keep it open. I was recently looking at the statistics of major pharmaceutical companies and the amounts they spend on advertising is staggering. One week's expenditure from one company would refloat this community asset.
