On 11 February 2026 we ran a workshop as part of the SCVO Gathering<\/a> in Edinburgh. The workshop brought together researchers from Napier with the third sector organisation Family Advice Information Resource (FAIR)<\/a> and Voyage Care<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We were delighted to welcome more than forty people to the session, from a wide range of mostly third sector organisations in Edinburgh and Scotland.<\/p>\n

In the workshop we talked about the challenges which were faced by 64 local charities when the Edinburgh Integrated Joint Board announced sudden cuts of \u00a34.5million, and heard from the first-hand perspectives of Kimberley Swan (CEO, FAIR), Philip (Voyage Care service-user) and Stuart (FAIR Board Member and service-user).<\/p>\n

During the workshop we also saw a trailer of Falling Without a Net, a new film which has been co-produced by Edinburgh Napier researchers, Dr Diane Willis and Judith Fieldhouse with FAIR and Voyage Care participants.<\/p>\n
