The Activelink team wishes a happy Christmas and a prosperous 2025 to all our readers and advertisers. We are currently closed for the Christmas break and will re-open on Thursday the 2nd of January 2025.

There will be no Activelink or Community Exchange e-bulletins on the weekend of the 28th December and 29th December.

Applications are open for the Music Capital Scheme Piano Award to support the purchase/refurbishment of concert standard grand pianos by arts venues and music presenters. We are seeking applications from organisations that provide a year-round high quality music programme, support the work of professional musicians and have a strong track record in audience and community engagement.

We are hosting a free online Bereavement Information evening at 7pm on Thursday, January 30th. We know that the past few years have been a difficult and isolating time. We hope that our event will provide some connection and solace. This event is for all: you may have experienced a bereavement this year or at an earlier time, or you may be concerned about a child or friend who is grieving and you wish to help.
