A notebook with some doodles under a headline that says "Master Plan", in reference to one of Oasis's song titles. There's doodles of a house, an emergency sign, an SOS light, a 'help' comment bubble, and text saying "The Scottish Government's plan to end the national housing emergency is to... Umm... Hmm... Is there one?"

Big events like #Oasis, #ACDC and #EdFringe fill up hotels and B&Bs, leaving fewer options for people experiencing homelessness in need of temp. accommodation.

Yet, over a year since the national #HousingEmergency was declared, we’re still waiting for the Scottish Government’s masterplan to end it.

Our House of Hormones posters and flyers have arrived! Look out for us flyering on the Royal Mile soon.
House of Hormones takes place on Thursday 21st August, 1.15pm at Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh. You can reserve a seat at the event via www.edfringe.com/tickets/what...

A woman with straight, shoulder-length grey-blonde hair wearing a green jumper and a flower-shaped necklace stands on the right-hand side of the image, looking calmly at the camera. On the left-hand side, white text on a teal patterned background reads: “Read Lyndsay Harrison, founder of Workplace Menopause Support and a nurse practitioner in general practice, in our latest blog on how the menopause can contribute to ‘heightened emotions, misunderstandings, and stress.’” At the bottom, logos for Cyrenians and SCCR (Scottish Centre for Conflict Resolution) are displayed.

💬 "Despite being a nurse, I didn’t recognise my own perimenopause symptoms…"
That experience sparked Workplace Menopause Support — and inspired House of Hormones, a new Edinburgh Fringe event.

This year has been one of extremes. In May 2024, the Scottish Government declared a housing emergency, and since then, the situation has worsened. More people are waiting years for stable housing. Here in Edinburgh, the situation is particularly stark.

But in the face of this crisis, there is hope.
