The Community Wellbeing Collective (CWC) hosts a creative gathering to celebrate the work of prolific photographer and community worker Sandra George. George’s photos captured Edinburgh through the 80s and 90s, presenting an intimate portrait of the people she worked with across Wester Hailes and Craigmillar. Her work is held in archive at Craigmillar Now.

Led by Craigmillar Now’s lead archivist and CWC member Anna Mayhew, the event offers a close look at the artist’s local photography, alongside a shared meal featuring cyanotype tablecloths, a photography workshop creating a collective installation, and sharing memories of the communities George documented. This is part of a series of Anchor Events: CWC’s monthly explorations bringing together a diverse community connected to Wester Hailes, with local organisations and artists.
