We are proud to be a charity that is accessible to all, and free from judgement or discrimination. All our Trustees come from varied backgrounds, with 75% from the local area. Our vision is to support people to flourish and realise their full potential by creating an environment for creative and recreational events. All our activities are accessible, not just physically but financially and democratically. All revenue is reinvested back into the charity to provide services tackling poverty and social isolation in the community.

we work with many community food projects and programms and want to support the community to do more

GFPP is a group of public, private and voluntary sector organisations who have come together with one specific objective. We believe that a fairer, healthier, more sustainable and resilient food system would make Glasgow an even better city to live in. We want #GoodFoodForAll and we believe that together we can make it happen. We define ‘good food’ as food that is: vital to the quality of people’s lives in Glasgow. As well as being tasty, healthy, accessible and affordable, our food should be good for the planet, good for workers, good for local businesses and good for animal welfare. Everyone should know where their food comes from, and everyone should understand and celebrate the exciting variety of fresh, nutritious and affordable food available right on their doorstep. We care passionately about our communities, your well-being, and our environment.

We are a community based food project working in North East Glasgow. Our mission is to bring people together through growing, cooking and eating good food. We run a community garden, cooking club, weekly community meals, and a free community larder. We also work in partnership with a range of education providers to deliver cooking and growing workshops with local young people.

Roots to Recovery is a gardening project set up by the North East Recovery to allow our clients access to a growing space in the East. We are based at Elcho Gardens in the Calton and meet every Thursday morning. We have access to 6 raised beds and a few large barrels and have been growing a range of vegetables.

We run gardening volunteer sessions, open to all. Friendly and relaxed environment and no prior skills required! March - November: every Monday and Thursday 11am - 4pm November - February: monthly sessions, dates vary. Best to check our website or social media or email us at [email protected] to check! We usually have an optional shared potluck lunch around 1pm at our volunteering sessions. Bring a dish to share or if it feels more comfortable to you, you can just bring lunch for yourself. :)

Urban Roots is a community led environmental charity working across the Southside of Glasgow. We empower local people to make choices and lifestyle changes that are beneficial for them, their communities and the environment.

The Lunch Club runs every week on Fridays at 12noon. A two course meal is served, followed by tea or coffee and a biscuit. The lunch is aimed at older people who live on their own and are at risk of social isolation but no-one is turned away. There is a charge of £3.90. The lunches are provided by the school meal service.

Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust are very proud to welcome you to our very first in-house café. Whether you are popping in for refreshments after a gym session, taking a pit stop when walking along the canal or just having a rest after checking out our latest exhibition, we can’t wait to welcome you to your Maryhill’s community café. The café name was one of many suggested from members of our local community, and was finally chosen after a public vote in 2022. ‘Nolly’ is a local term of affection for the Forth & Clyde Canal, which flows behind our building. All purchases help support the charitable work of Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust.

To assist the “Homeless” and others on the pavement, or in hostels, or in the community generally, who are in need of assistance. This may be visually / verbally / writing asking for help, looking like they need assistance or simply presenting as in need of assistance. Assistance comes in the form of our 2 initiatives - the TWALK and the TDROP The TWALK, every Wednesday evening, around the city centre and the west end, provides hot drinks, soup, other foods and warm clothing on a non-judgemental basis for those who present as needing support. And it provides a listening ear for people who find themselves living in isolation and provides information on services and organisations available to assist those in need. The TDROP, promotes the ethos of ‘zero waste’ by working with stores in Glasgow to ensure that any food that they have, due to be disposed of, can be used by the Project. Our TDROP activity takes place 5 nights a week and we make 15 different collections during the week. By distributing these goods to those who present as needing support or to “Homeless” shelters., or to Community food initiatives.
