About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

How can our homes impact our health and wellbeing? 🏡

Join ETL and The Crannie for a screening of a powerful short film, War Without Bullets, about Glaswegian activist Cathy McCormack - who transformed her fight against poor housing conditions in her own community into a global movement for health justice. From challenging local authorities about damp, cold homes affecting her community's wellbeing, Cathy's campaign took her from Easterhouse in Glasgow to activist on the global stage.

The film will be accompanied by food and an open conversation about our experiences and hopes for our own homes, and our struggles and successes with fighting for safe and healthy housing conditions. There will be more information about housing and energy advice at the event if you have any specific questions about your own situation.

ACCESS

Crannie is down quite a steep street (Cranston Street), with stair-free access to the film room, as well as an accessible toilet on the same floor.

There will also be a quiet room available during the event.

Please get in touch with daisy@edinburghtoollibrary.org.uk if you have any questions about access for this event.
