silverburn park

Silverburn is the former estate of The Russell family who were owners of the Tullis Russell paper making business. The land was originally part of the Barony of Durie and was leased to Mr David Russell by Charles Maitland Christie of Durie in 1854. A dower house known as Corriemar was also built and a flax mill was established on the site. David Russell died in 1906. His son, (also named David) and who later became Sir David Russell was born at Silverburn in 1872 and in 1912 married and went to live in Aithernie House. He returned to Silverburn in 1929. Sir David had a great interest in trees and many were planted including some rare and unusual species which continue to thrive today. In 1973, Sir David Russell’s son, Dr/Major Russell (Head of Tullis Russell Papermakers) gifted the houses and grounds to Leven Town Council, but also stipulated through the National Trust for Scotland that the “subjects should remain forever as a quiet area used for the benefit of the public in general and the people of Leven in particular for nature trails, quiet parkland and organised camping”. In the mid to late 1980s, the former Kirkcaldy District Council undertook a Job Creation Programme to reinstate Silverburn House for use as a Residential Centre for groups to use such as scouts and guides; school parties, caravan rallies etc. A stand alone wing to the rear of the House was used by crafters to make and show their wares throughout the Summer and Christmas/New Year periods. Silverburn Park Between 1990 and 1999, an average of 20,000 + people per year visited Silverburn. Its main attraction was the former “Mini-Farm” which had on show a wide range of domestic and exotic animals, birds, reptiles and insects. However, following a Council policy decision in 2002, to cease operating Animal Centres across Fife there have been very few visitors to Silverburn, other than local people. Financial constraints have also led to year-on-year reductions in revenue expenditure with no meaningful capital investment in the Park. Over the years, various ideas have been proposed for Silverburn including the setting up of a Scottish Music/Arts and Craft Centre and redevelopment as a crematorium. None of these have come to fruition.

south west music school

South West Music School is a charity working with talented young instrumentalists, singers and composers aged 8 – 19 years in the South West of England. Due to the geographical nature of the South West, we are not building based but are a ‘virtual’ school working with young people on an individual basis in their local area. In addition, our students come together on a regular basis to collaborate, create, learn new skills and perform together. South West Music School is part of a national network of Centres of Advanced Training supported by the Department for Education Music and Dance Scheme for exceptionally talented young musicians. Funding provided by the DfE can ensure that each student has adequate resources to undertake involvement with SWMS and that all costs are met according to need (there is an optional section within our application form to help us determine your grant eligibility). South West Music School (SWMS) provides students with the same standard of music education as specialist music schools and junior conservatoires. The additional benefit of SWMS is that it allows students to stay in their existing education and continue to take part in other current musical (and non-musical) activities in their local communities. South West Music School covers each county in the South West region: Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Bristol, Gloucestershire, BaNES and Wiltshire. How much does it cost? The cost of a place at SWMS depends on the specific programme and tailored package of activities provided for each student. We work with families to ensure we place students on the right programme and with the right level of support for ability level, age, musical interest, and budget. SWMS students have access to means-tested grants from the Department of Education’s Music & Dance Scheme. A full grant will cover the entire costs of a place with South West Music School, as well as providing additional financial support for activities such as instrumental tuition. For more information about our fees, and applying for a grant, click here. How can I apply? We have a formal application process from March through to the end of May, however if you are interested in joining SWMS during an academic year please get in touch with Tracy Hill t.hill@swms.org.uk. All information on the application process can be found on our How to Apply page.

mojo development ltd

About Me Having spent the majority of my corporate career in the fast-paced world of advertising & media, I have come to learn a few things about change and how to thrive in times of change. I've worked for several global brands and organisations, each with their own cultures and approaches. I've also worked in domestic (UK), regional and global roles, which has given me great perspective on how different nationalities like to work. Added to this I've worked through and helped manage high profile mergers. So taking an abundant view on change is second-nature for me. The common factor in whatever role I've had the fortune to have - client management, strategy, business development, content marketing - has been helping to develop and grow high potential people and teams through mentoring, training and coaching.

capital valley plastics (cvp)

Founded in 1987, CVP is an award winning manufacturer based in Cwmavon (South Wales). Situated within its own private grounds in the Welsh valleys, we have proven that industry can work with nature. The site was first developed in 1900 by brewery architects George Adlam and Sons of Bristol, for Charles Westlake and in 1997 became a grade II listed building. The building was located alongside the Afan Lwyd to take advantage of the water supply for use in the brewery, brewing at the site ceased in 1938. The site has been involved in the plastic industry for the last 40 years, and in that time has seen many changes, including the complete gutting and refurbishment of the derelict “White House” that became the new home of the companies office operations.

salt textiles

SALT Textiles is a meditation on a craft, founded by artist and self-taught dyer Jordan Maxwell. SALT pairs a reverence for nature with an evolving absorption of traditional crafts and esoteric practices. SALT explores our relationship to the everyday through natural materials and slow processes. Jordan considers not only the material aspect of textiles work but the subtle states conjured through intentional creative practice; working with the elements and matriarchal cycles. Jordan favours organic materials, forgotten methods and plant dyes when creating pieces for SALT. Though she works primarily within the medium of textiles, SALT also explores the devotional arts of meditation, tea ceremony and the Wise Woman Tradition. In addition to artwork and collections of functional objects, her craft is shared through natural dye workshops, mending circles and online programmes.

dandelion at lauriston agroecology farm

Our vision is for a large scale urban food growing project which is nature rich, and which will benefit primarily the communities that live in the local area but also the wider city into the future. We aim to address some of the issues around access to local, affordable fresh produce, environmental degradation and lack of opportunities for people in cities to gain experience in food production resulting in a greater understanding of the wider food system. This land and proposed project has the potential to deliver many benefits including increased access to affordable locally grown food, increased biodiversity and enrichment of local wildlife habitats, carbon capture, multiple avenues for training and education around food growing and biodiversity and for celebration and coming together through community activities and events.

fiona ingram jewellery

The creative possibilities of Metal Clay are so exciting to me, I particularly enjoy working in silver, bronze and 24k keum boo gold. I am drawn to making elements made from a mosaic of applied pieces to create texture and pattern. A love of doodling, eastern and tribal jewellery also informs my own use of simple design and symbolism. Moving back to beautiful Dorset and Wiltshire provided the vital ingredients to keep the magic flowing: open spaces, extraordinary colour and beauty in nature, the pull of the sea and the ancient places that feel alive with history. So slow down, have a browse and take some time to fill your own cup. Choose a piece of jewellery just for you that reminds you of just how valuable you are - how unique and interesting too.
